Your Next Outdoor Adventure or Family Vacation Starts Here!

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. Or rent a boat and explore Lake Couchiching, Lake Simcoe, or the Trent Severn Waterway. But don’t forget to visit one of the many beaches, like Moose Beach, to dip your toes in the water.

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. Or perhaps a little trip to the Casino? Or the spa? Even if it’s just a day trip for a bite to eat, this place will leave you wanting to come back for more.
