What are the best summer activities in Kawartha Lakes?

The best summer activities in Kawartha Lakes include angling, paddling, hiking, and camping. The area attracts anglers, paddlers, hikers, and campers from all around southern Ontario. Kawartha Lakes can be enjoyed year-round, although winter camping options will be limited because many private campgrounds are open only from May to October. However, Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park stays open all year. Summer visits are best planned for midweek, since weekends are very busy. For peace and quiet, visit in early spring before fishing season opens and seasonal campers arrive.
