NORTHUMBERLAND IN SUMMER

NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY is located on the shores of Lake Ontario just an hour East of Toronto. Often known for its beautiful beach, historic downtown shopping, and picturesque surrounding of rolling hills, Northumberland has always been a popular tourist destination.
In recent years the County has also attracted many retirees, and with the convenience of the VIA Rail commuter service, the area has become a place to call home for many Toronto commuters.
Northumberland is an incredible place to call home especially for those looking for waterfront or waterfront views as it boasts two major lakes within its borders.
Lake Ontario runs along the entire south side of the county and each of the waterfront communities offers a unique lifestyle all its own.
Port Hope has incredible walking trails along the water and pebble beach.
Cobourg offers a chance to be transported to sandy beaches perfect for the whole family and ideal for swimming. As well as the beach, Cobourg offers an expansive marina and boardwalk steps from downtown and Victoria Square Park.
Heading east along lake Ontario there are three other major waterfront communities each with its own unique typography and picturesque views. Rice Lake is located along the northern border of Northumberland. It is the perfect spot for those looking to be on the water, with a cottage or year-round home. Named for the wild rice which grew in it, Rice Lake is now recognized for its recreational and sport fisheries. The village of Bewdley sits on the west end of the lake and the town of Hastings sits on the east. Other communities around the lake include Roseneath, Gores Landing, Keene and Harwood.
Whether you are looking for a year-round waterfront home, access to the beach and views of the water, or you have your heart set on a cottage retreat within an hour to the GTA, Northumberland County has it all.
