Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park
From OutdoorWiki
The scenic Kawartha Highlands, encompassing 37,587 hectares, is the largest park in Ontario south of Algonquin Provincial Park. Situated along the southern edge of the Canadian Shield, this relatively undeveloped area features a rugged rolling landscape of small lakes, wetlands, forests and rocky barrens. The protection of the ecological integrity of the area is of paramount importance. Long-term protection of both natural and cultural heritage values is required for the preservation of this unique area. Traditional activities and diverse low-intensity recreational opportunities will continue to be available.
