Welcome to Omemee, the early childhood home of Neil Young and the passageway of travellers exploring the beautiful Kawartha Lakes. Explore the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail and the historic Doube's Trestle Bridge, located just 7km from the downtown core.
Omemee’s economy is supported by the town’s population as well as seasonal residents and retirement communities in the surrounding area. These individuals are down-to-earth with country traditions who enjoy old-fashioned pursuits like gardening, boating, and swimming. Their deep roots in the land make them uniquely connected to the region and supportive of local businesses, both new and old.
