Try a day trip to Lake Simcoe

We have many incred-inline-blockle beaches in Kawartha Lakes, but sometimes a change of scenery can be fun! Kawartha Lakes is the perfect location for a cottage not only because of our amazing lakes, but for all the fun places close by! The stunning Lake Simcoe is only 30 minutes away with more than 12 beaches to choose from. “Along with sandy shores, many York Region beaches also offer grassy areas to play, picnic tables and playgrounds for children.” These beaches are closely monitored by public health officials so families can swim worry free.
