Availability of some facilities and activities may be restricted to specific areas of the park, may be ecologically dependent, or may be seasonally weather dependent.
Before you visit: check what facilities/activities are available and pack what you need (e.g. water, snacks, mask/face covering, and hand sanitizer). Postpone your visit if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been asked to isolate.
When you visit: Continue to follow public health advice including practicing physical distancing by keeping at least two metres from others, wearing a face covering where required, when physical distancing may be a challenge or not possible and when entering indoor public spaces, and wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Kawartha Highlands Signature Site is the largest park in southern Ontario after Algonquin Provincial Park.
It is a special place with opportunities to experience the outdoors ranging from backcountry canoeing and camping to a short hike. Before visiting please be aware that the access points at Kawartha have limited facilities and parking capacity.
We ask that all visitors be responsible and prepared for whatever activity you plan on participating in at the park. Please stick to designated trails and portages, and be respectful of other park visitors and the natural environment at all times.
Always remember around water – use life-jackets, plan your trip and be prepared for uneven backcountry terrain.
Kawartha Highlands is open all year long, for backcountry adventures in any season. If you are planning on coming to the park, consider contacting park staff so they can help you make the most of your visit.
