Kawartha Lakes has 3,792 hectares of forests located within four Municipal Forest Tracts. Our Municipal Forest Tracts are open year-round and offer the perfect backdrop for a variety of outdoor recreational activities for both residents and visitors to Kawartha Lakes. Enjoy the extensive well-being benefits associated with spending time outdoors in nature. Municipal Forest tracts are working forests; not parks. There are no facilities or waste receptacles provided, visitors are asked to plan their trip accordingly ahead of time. Visitors are advised to exercise caution while visiting Forest Tracts, like any outdoor nature pursuit there are risks that can occur; visitors are reminded to use Municipal Forest Tracts at their own risk. All Municipal Forest Tracts adhere to the By-law 2005-329. Forest Tract Locations
