Surrounded by serene waterways, there is a reason everyone refers to the area as Lake Country. Try paddling the Black River or through the Narrows to see the Mnjikaning Fishing Weirs, a National Historic Site in the region.

With the most resorts in all of Simcoe County, this is the perfect place for a family getaway. If that’s not your thing, maybe road cycling or mountain biking is.
