ABOUT BUCKHORN

Experience the warm welcome of Buckhorn

Buckhorn is a charming Trent-Severn Trail Town nestled in the heart of the picturesque Kawarthas region. It exudes a quaint small-town vibe, with friendly locals eager to share their love for this special place.

Buckhorn offers small-town charm and friendly people. From the staff at Lock 31 to the stranger you may meet in the street, we take pride in the place we call home.

For nature lovers, there are many trails and routes as well as Ontario’s largest park south of Algonquin – Kawartha Highlands Signature Site.

A community that gives respect to its past, Buckhorn was once home to many settlers and workers in the sawmill industry. Today, you can still find remnants of the logging throughout our lakes and rivers that brought them here.

WELCOME

Located at Lock 31 on the Trent Severn Waterway, you will find a hidden gem in the heart of the Kawarthas called Buckhorn. From our origins back in the 1800s to the forward-thinking community we are today, we are very proud of our historical and cultural heritage. It resonates in our fine arts and culture, scenic attractions and family events.

We have all the essentials for a great vacation in our area like tea rooms, restaurants, shops, bakers, catering, marinas, fine art galleries, and awardwinning winery, B&B’s and amazing resorts.

Surrounded by lakes, rivers and trails, summer is our busiest time of year. Cottagers come up for their vacation, boaters travel through our lock and anglers come to catch fish from our fresh waters. Summer isn’t our only attractive season, though. With wellgroomed snowmobile trails, skating on the Buckhorn Sports Pad or on the lake, ice fishing, snow shoeing and much more, winter is a popular season as well.

Stop by our Welcome Centre located next to the LCBO, for information on businesses, accommodations, attractions and entertainment. You will be overwhelmed by how much we have to

offer. In the meantime, you can check out our website at www.buckhorn.ca to start planning your getaway.

ON THE WATER

Embark on an aquatic adventure in the Buckhorn area.

Our lakes and rivers boast stunning sights that rival any in the world. Experience the unique thrill of living on the water aboard a houseboat for a few days or even weeks. Take in the breathtaking views from the deck as you cruise along the Waterway, stopping in different communities for lunch and nightlife. Whether you’re seeking solitude or bringing loved ones along, the memories made will be cherished for a lifetime.

For those who enjoy canoeing and kayaking, the Buckhorn area is a haven. Paddle along the shoreline at sunrise or sunset to observe birds and wildlife in their natural habitat. Many resorts offer watercraft rentals or include them in vacation packages.

Delve beneath the surface while diving in the area to dwiscover relics from the past, providing a glimpse into the region’s history. Seek recommendations from the Welcome Centre for must-see underwater sites.

FISHING

Fishing is a beloved pastime in the Buckhorn area, with our lakes teeming with walleye, pickerel, bass, and various sunfish species. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, spending a day on the water casting your line is a fantastic way to pass the time. Many resorts offer boat rentals, and there are numerous fishing charters in the area for those looking for a guided experience.

Ontario Family Fishing Events provide a unique opportunity for Canadian residents to enjoy fishing in Ontario waters without needing the usual fishing version of the outdoors card. In 2024, there are three times --- Mother’s Day Weekend (May 11/12), Father’s Day Weekend (June 15-16) and Family Fishing Week from June 29 to July 7.

The Buckhorn District Lion’s Club also hosts a Kids’ Fishing Derby on June 23 at Blue Heron Resort.

RESPECT FOR INDIGENOUS ROOTS

We respectfully acknowledge that Buckhorn is located on the Treaty 20 Michi Saagiig territory and in the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nation, which include: Alderville, Beausoleil, Curve Lake, Georgina Island, Hiawatha, Rama and Scugog Island First Nations.

Curve Lake First Nation territory consists of a mainland peninsula and large island (Fox Island) on Buckhorn and Chemong Lake. Curve Lake First Nation

also co-owns smaller islands located throughout the Trent Severn Waterway system. The total land base of the First Nation is approximately 900 hectares.

For those interested in learning more about our Indigenous roots, a visit to Curve Lake First Nation should be on your agenda. In addition to events held throughout the year at the Whetung Ojibwa Centre, the Curve Lake Pow Wow, September 21 and 22, 2024 is an annual event that draws visitors from across North America. Traditional in every way, the Pow Wow features song and dance and story and regalia, food and sights and sounds.

“Curve Lake First Nation people are the Mississaugas of the great Anishnaabeg (uhnish-nahbe) nation. We are the traditional people of the North shore of Lake Ontario and its tributaries; this has been Mississauga territory since time immemorial.” (excerpt from Curve Lake First Nation website)

HERITAGE

The Buckhorn area is steeped in history.

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.

Buckhorn has a rich heritage as a former home to settlers and sawmill workers. The remnants of this past are still visible in the lakes and rivers that surround the town, serving as a reminder of the area's pioneering roots.

Throughout the area, you can see the majestic granite rocks and tall trees that make this one of Mother Nature's

splendours. Visit Adam & Eve Rocks in Buckhorn, two huge granite boulders left behind by the glaciers and Council Rock, which sits precariously tilted near the bridge.

Buckhorn is proud to be part of the Trent-Severn Trail Town Program, a collaborative effort between Kawarthas Northumberland, Parks Canada, and local municipalities, aims to connect communities, celebrate heritage, welcome visitors, and showcase the beauty of the region.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

The Buckhorn region is graced with stunning natural beauty.

Visitors can take part in a variety of outdoor activities such as ATV-ing, hiking, biking, and snowmobiling on scenic trails.

Just a short distance north of Buckhorn lies the Kawartha Highlands Signature Site, home to a picturesque 1.5km hiking trail alongside the Mississauga River. The breathtaking views along the trail showcase some of the most remarkable scenery in the Kawarthas. The interpretive trail provides insight into the river's history,

its significance in the area's settlement, and the rich heritage of Buckhorn.

Sandy Lake boasts one of the finest beaches in the Kawarthas, offering a serene escape surrounded by lush countryside. The crystal-clear waters of Sandy Lake resemble a Caribbean paradise, thanks to the limestone bottom. While there are no lifeguards on duty, amenities like parking and portable toilets are available.

For golf enthusiasts, Buckhorn offers a selection of top-notch courses that harmonize with the natural terrain. Whether you prefer a relaxing 9-hole round or a more challenging 18-hole adventure, Buckhorn has something for every golfer.

In the winter months, the region transforms into a snowy wonderland with miles of groomed trails for snowmobilers. And many trails are open for winter hikes through the beautiful snow-covered ground.

In 2023, the Municipality of Trent Lakes erected an accessible children's play area in Ode’naang Park , located beside the Trent Canal in “downtown” Buckhorn. The park is also the perfect spot for your picnic lunch or to sit on the bench and watch the boats go into the Lock.

SITES OF INTEREST

PETROGLYPHS PROVINCIAL PARK

Located just 30 minutes from Buckhorn, the Petroglyphs Provincial Park 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

CURVE LAKE CULTURAL CENTRE

Created in 1988, Curve Lake Cultural Centre is a source of knowledge dedicated to keeping traditions and ceremonies alive within the community. The Cultural Centre is a place to immerse yourself in the history and culture of First Nations people. Visitors are welcome to learn about a unique way of life and community members who want to reaffirm their own cultural awareness. For more information, visit curvelakeculturalcentre.ca.

BURLEIGH FALLS

The Falls are created by a narrowing in the flow of water between Lovesick Lake and Lower Buckhorn Lake on the west and Stoney Lake to the east. It’s a beautiful sight to see, but also popular with kayakers and divers.

WOLF ISLAND PROVINCIAL PARK

Paleozoic limestone outcroppings rub shoulders with much older, Precambrian bedrock on this island, which is only accessible by boat. Visitors may park and launch a boat from Lock #28 in Burleigh Falls (fees may be applicable). Wolf Island is west of the launch approximately 5km. Because it is not accessible by land, it remains one of the most untouched parks in the province. Visit ontarioparks.com/park/wolfisland for more details.

Are you looking to buy or sell in the Kawarthas? Who better to represent you than a 24-year resident of Buckhorn Lake with experience on the lakes and a passion for the Kawarthas.

Your restaurant experience can be whatever you want. From elegant dining at one of the area’s premier resorts, to informal dining in a pub atmosphere. Here are a few highlights: Buckhorn also has some of the best Chinese food in the Kawarthas at the Cody Inn on the hill. The Cody Inn is steeped in history, dating back to the early settlement. The original house was built in 1905 as a private residence. In 1921 it was converted into a hotel and re-named The Windsor House. Many of the workers in the lumber industry came to Buckhorn and stayed at The Windsor House. It was then purchased in the 1970s by Francis Cody, who named it Cody Inn. In 2000 it was turned into a restaurant, under the same name.

Stop in at Pizza Alloro for some of the best pizza around. Dine in or take your pie to go and sit in the park watching the boats go by.

If you enjoy cooking at your cottage or campground, be sure to stop by Buckhorn Foodland for all your needs. You can also pick up a “to-go” meal, already prepared and ready to eat.
