Municipality of Trent Lakes
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!
Mayor Terry Lambshead

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.
There’s something for everyone from summer camps and activities for the kids, art and craft shows, senior’s programs, fitness classes, dinner theatre and much, much more. Check out the events listing in this guide and online at www.buckhorncommunitycentre.com

Here in Buckhorn, that’s due to the limestone bottom of the lake. There are no lifeguards, but parking and portable toilets are on hand,
Let’s talk about winter activities for a moment.
The Buckhorn District Snowmobile Club maintains trails throughout the area and is a great place to start. BDSC volunteers and grooming staff maintain approximately 165 kilometres of trails through varying terrain, from the east shore of Chemong Lake in the south, to the Gooderham area in the north. More information about the Club and area trails can be found on Facebook at BuckhornDSC.
For those who like exploring the winter wonderland on foot, most parks are open for hiking year round. Strap on your snowshoes or cross-country skis for a day out in the fresh air.

HERITAGE
The Buckhorn area is steeped in history, with all the conveniences of modern life.
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.

you can find remnants of the logging industry that brought early settlers and workers to the Buckhorn area. If you’re hiking the historic trails, you can get a glimpse of the majestic granite rocks and tall trees that make this one of Mother Nature’s splendours.
In 2019, Buckhorn received the designation of Trent-Severn Trail Town, connecting nine communities along the Trent-Severn Waterway.
ARTS & CULTURE
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. Visit www.buckhornfineart.com.
Studio tours take place throughout the area, usually in the summer and fall. Many are self-guided tours where you can discover where and how our artists live
and work. Some will let you in on their creative process and share their passion for their work.
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.

The Petroglyphs Provincial Park is located just 30 minutes from Buckhorn. It has the largest known concentration of Indigenous rock carvings (petroglyphs) in Canada, depicting turtles, snakes, birds, humans and more. This sacred site is known as “The Teaching Rocks”. The location of the site was kept hidden from non-First Nation people until 1954, when it was rediscovered accidentally by a prospector. Visit www.ontarioparks. com/park/petroglyphs.
ADAM & EVE ROCKS
A short drive or stroll down Adam & Eve Road, atop a short hill, are the remnants of the glacial activity in the area thousands of years ago. These two glacial rocks are named after the original man and woman in Christianity. Folklore has it that if a

THE CODY INN
The Cody Inn sits on top of the hill across from Lock 31. The original house was built in 1905 as a private residence and in 1921, was converted into a hotel named The Windsor House. It became well-known as a luxurious fishing lodge and folks from as far away as the States came to stay. In 1975, the lodge was purchased by Francis
Cody, who renamed it Cody Inn which it remains today. In 2000 the Inn was turned into a restaurant that offers up some of the best Chinese food in the Kawarthas!
BUCKHORN BUCK
This statue of Buckhorn Buck was erected to commemorate the namesake of the town of Buckhorn. The area has a huge population of Whitetail Deer, making this the hunters paradise in the fall. It’s the town’s unofficial mascot and is popular with those looking to take a selfie!

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.
