Municipality of Trent Lakes

The Township of Selwyn

On behalf of Trent Lakes’ Council, residents and staff, I would like to welcome you to the beautiful area of Trent Lakes! In just a short drive, you can discover the communities of Kinmount, Burleigh Falls, Bobcaygeon and Buckhorn!

Known as the heart of the Kawarthas, Buckhorn is a small, charming town that will leave you with lasting memories and one-of-a-kind experiences.

After visiting by land or water, take a stroll down Lakehurst Road to grab an ice cream cone, do a little shopping, and eat lunch at one of the many restaurants by the water. Don’t leave Buckhorn without visiting the famous Adam and Eve Rocks!

Whether you are looking for the quiet countryside, or a cottage on the lake, Trent Lakes offers what you seek. We see the most visitors in the summer taking advantage of our many lakes, but winter is not to be overlooked! Take a ride on our abundance of snowmobile trails, then finish off the day warming up at the local winery.

Each season we are proud to welcome returning families and new visitors.

Visit www.trentlakes.ca and follow us on social media to stay up to date on everything we have to offer.

Enjoy discovering Trent Lakes!

Welcome to beautiful Buckhorn! On behalf of the members of Council, staff, and our residents, we are pleased you have chosen to visit Selwyn Township!

Get ready to experience the small-town atmosphere and rural charm. From the Village of Buckhorn to the communities of Bridgenorth, Ennismore, Lakefield and Young’s Point, enjoy our unique stores, welcoming accommodations, and outstanding restaurants.

Our landscape is diverse – we have lakefront cottages, beautiful beaches, and pristine farms and forests.

Whether it’s a drive down our picturesque country roads, a family stroll along the trails, a day at one of our community festivals, or a day at the beach, we hope your experience will be memorable and will encourage you to come back and visit us again.

Enjoy your stay!

About Buckhorn

Photo Credit: ​Joe Berta

We are located at Lock 31 on the Trent Severn Waterway. From our origins as a sawmill town in the 1880s, we are still a vibrant community rich in historical and cultural heritage, fine arts and culture, family events and scenic attractions. Time spent here will seem short because there is so much to do and see. You will want to come back time and again!

All essentials for a great vacation are at hand in Buckhorn. We have great little shops, restaurants, tea rooms, bed and breakfasts, bakeries, marinas, fine art galleries and so much more.

Being surrounded by lakes, rivers and trails, summer is our busiest time

of year with cottaging, boating, fishing, swimming. Our other seasons offer lots of activities for the whole family like ice fishing, skiing, snowmobiling and skating on our new outdoor ice rink.

Drop by our Welcome Centre located next to the LCBO for more information on businesses, attractions, accommodations and entertainment. You will be overwhelmed by how much we have to offer. Check out our website at www. buckhorn.ca. We hope to see you soon!

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

The Buckhorn area is the perfect place to explore nature from the water.

Most area resorts provide watercraft for their guests, including kayaks and boats.

There are also local businesses that rent these if you’re staying at a cottage or B&B. You can get a stand-up paddleboard or kayak for a little exercise as you enjoy the view along the shore. Or try your hand at fishing and catch a pickerel, bass or sunfish. Some of our resorts host fishing derbies in the summer to give your kids an introduction to the sport of fishing and can be fun for the whole family.

Ontario Family Fishing events give you the opportunity to fish our waters without a license three times a year -- May 13 and 14; June 17 and 18; and July 1 to 9. At all other times, Canadian residents between the ages of 18 and 64 years need to purchase a license to fish.

Houseboating has become more popular in recent years. You can take a cruise around the lakes and through the locks, enjoying time with family and friends on the water. Anchor in one of the lazy bays on Buckhorn Lake overnight and enjoy the sunset from

Those looking for a more sedate adventure in the Buckhorn area can find picnic areas and, of course, Sandy Beach.

Ode’naang Park is located beside the Trent Canal in “downtown” Buckhorn. It provides the perfect spot for your picnic lunch or to sit on the bench and watch the boats go into the Lock. Enjoy a slice of pizza or ice cream cone while you enjoy the sights.

For the beach sitters and swimming enthusiasts, Sandy Beach is the place to be. Sandy Beach is known for its expanse of soft sand that extends into Sandy Lake, which reminds many visitors of a Caribbean oasis of turquoise water.

Buckhorn’s Cultural Centre (BCC) is home to a range of diverse programming and events.

The Buckhorn District Snowmobile Club maintains trails throughout the area and is a great place to start.

The hamlet of Buckhorn is nestled in the Municipality of Trent Lakes and the bridge across the Trent-Severn Waterway links to the Township of Selwyn.

The Curve Lake Anishinaabe (Ojibway) community traces their origins to 1829 when a small band settled around Curve Lake and Mud Lake. The community officially became a reserve in 1837. You can trace the roots of the Indigenous People with a visit to the Curve Lake Cultural Centre, or attend their annual Pow Wow in September.

The Municipality of Trent Lakes is the amalgamation of former townships Galway-Cavendish and Harvey. In 2013, the township became Trent Lakes, to reognize the role of the tourist and cottage industry to the Trent-Severn Waterway system.

The Whetung Ojibwa Centre at Curve Lake is where to go to experience and purchase art from Indigenous artists. It offers a spectacular collection of Native crafts as well as Fine Art, Jewellery, Moccasins, Leather Work and Sculptures from Curve Lake First Nation and across Canada. One can literally spend hours browsing through the gallery rooms.

Because of the beauty of our natural landscape, the Buckhorn area is home to many worldrenowned artists.

We also attract hundreds of art lovers every year to attend our special events and artists’ studios.

The Buckhorn Festival of the Arts at the Buckhorn Community Centre in August features more than 80 artists from across Canada showcasing their paintings, sculpture, jewellery and photography.

The annual Youth Art Competition and Amateur Art Competition at the Festival ensures the next generation of “great artists” get recognition for their talent.

LOCAL SERVICES TRENT LAKES LIBRARY Finding the right read to help you unwind is easy in Buckhorn. The Trent Lakes Library features the latest best-sellers, as well as a full selection of Canadian works, DVDs, and novels for every reading level.

During the year, the helpful Library staff host a Kid’s Program every Wednesday.

COMMUNITY CARE This home support agency has developed a comprehensive volunteerbased transportation service for seniors and people with special needs.

Community Care Harvey also offers fitness programs, Meals on Wheels and hospice services. Throughout the

year, they also hold fund-raising events that are well worth attending. For more information, visit communitycareptbo. org.

TRANSER STATION In the Municipality of Trent Lakes, there are three transfer stations for your garbage and recycling. In 2017, more than 300 tonnes of garbage were rerouted into our recycling bins. That’s pretty impressive. Part of the reason was the new ‘clear bag’ policy enforced by the municipality – all garbage must be brought to the transfer station in a clear bag. And yes, the staff do take a look inside to make sure all possible recyclable materials are being recycled.

But as you can see, the reduction in waste was significant.

The Lodge at Buckhorn Home Hardware for all your seasonal needs.
