Municipality of Trent Lakes

Welcome all visitors to the Buckhorn tourist area, from wherever you come. You have certainly landed in the right place!

We are situated within an easy drive of the Golden Horseshoe but are far less busy. Our many privately-owned, familyrun resorts offer family down time to create memories for a lifetime. Book one or two cottages for a weeklong family getaway.

The Trent canal system is a gem, not found on any other place on earth and we hope you will take an opportunity to explore this welcoming community. Great restaurants, golf and driving tours will add to your enjoyment.

Check out our website for information on specific events throughout the season.

Janet Clarkson Mayor, Municipality of Trent Lakes The Township of Selwyn

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

From the Village of Buckhorn to the communities of Bridgenorth, Ennismore, Lakefield and Young’s Point, thousands of tourists come to Selwyn each year to enjoy our unique stores, welcoming accommodations, and outstanding restaurants.

As we look toward the end of the pandemic, we are eager to once again safely share our amenities with you. Our shops, services and eateries continue to rise to the challenge of delivering by pairing innovation with oldfashioned small town service.

Whether you are visiting the area to enjoy our many attractions, festivals or special events, our beautiful lakes, rivers, beaches and parks, or the hospitality of our local people and businesses, you’ll find that Selwyn has so much to offer all year round.

I encourage you to visit our website at www. selwyntownship.ca to explore all we have to offer. Get the latest Township news by liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter and Instagram @SelwynTownship, or sign up to receive our monthly eNewsletter.

We look forward to seeing you soon right here in Selwyn Township, where Our Small Towns = Big Photo Ops.
