in #KawarthaLakes Foxes are not dangerous to humans, except when they are rabid (which is very rare) or when they are captured and handled. Even then, a fox'...s natural tendency is to flee rather than fight. Foxes will eat various fruits, but they usually do not bother garden vegetables. Foxes pose very little risk for cats and dogs. If you are lucky enough to see a fox, please keep your distance and admire from afar. You should not approach, handle or disturb wildlife. @ Kawartha Lakes (Ontario)

Constructed in the early t...wentieth century, it is one of only two surviving grain elevators in Ontario from this time. It harks back to the time when the Canadian Pacific Railway transported grain from Manvers Township on the railway line that ran through Pontypool.

As the top-most point of the Trent-Severn Waterway, Balsam Lake is Canada's highest body of fresh water from which one can circumnavigate the world.

In Kawartha Lakes, "farm-to-table" is not just a nice idea, but a way of life. We believe it's important to know where your food comes from, and to experience t...he farm-to-table culture. The farm experiences, farm stands and farmers' markets in Kawartha Lakes are a thriving example of the movement to support local foods and products. October is #OntAg month and the fall harvest is the perfect time to explore Kawartha Lakes! Learn more: https://www.explorekawarthalakes.com//farms-and-agritainme
