WELCOME TO BUCKHORN!
Welcome to beautiful Trent Lakes, we’re happy you’re here.
Whether you are visiting for a day or longer, our corner of the Kawarthas will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
In just a short drive, you can explore the communities of Kinmount, Bobcaygeon, Buckhorn and Burleigh Falls, each with its own unique charm.
The hamlet of Buckhorn offers a sparkling view of the Trent-Severn Waterway. Grab an ice cream cone, do a little shopping, and sit by the water to watch the boats stroll by.
Beyond Buckhorn’s main street is more to discover. Enjoy some woodfired pizza at the local winery, or walk the river trail loop in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. In the fall, visitors enjoy the Kinmount Fair, and in the winter, local cottages offer a cozy retreat from the cold.
Each season we are pleased to welcome returning families and new visitors.

While you’re here, take time to visit the village, where you’ll find a selection of local shops and restaurants. Throughout the year, the community also hosts events and gatherings that reflect Buckhorn’s friendly, welcoming spirit.
Whether you’re visiting for a day trip or a longer stay, we hope you enjoy your time in Buckhorn and everything this special community has to offer.
Sherry Senis, Mayor
We respectfully acknowledge that Trent Lakes is located on the Treaty 20 Mississauga territory and in the traditional territory of the Mississauga and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nation. This includes Alderville, Beausoleil, Curve Lake, Georgina Island, Hiawatha, Rama and Scugog Island First Nations.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Williams Treaty First Nations are the stewards and caretakers of these lands and waters in perpetuity, and that they continue to maintain this responsibility to ensure their health and integrity for generations to come.
Heritage
A community that respects its past, the Buckhorn area is rich in heritage, culture and local pride.
Located along the Trent-Severn Waterway at Lock 31, Buckhorn was once home to settlers and workers in the sawmill industry. Today, you can still find reminders of the logging industry throughout our lakes and rivers.
The hamlet of Buckhorn is on the
border of the Municipality of Trent Lakes and the Township of Selwyn. The main downtown core is situated on the Trent Lakes side. A span of two bridges connect the hamlet. One bridge spans Trent-Severn Waterway Lock 31 on the Trent Lakes side. The second span is over the Buckhorn dam on the Township of Selwyn side.
Buckhorn Lake may have gotten its name because of its shape. On the map, it appears similar in shape to a buck’s head with antlers or horns, Pigeon Lake on one side and Chemong Lake on the other.
The Lodge at Buckhorn Home Hardware for all your seasonal needs.
The Curve Lake Anishinaabe (Ojibway) community traces their origins to 1829 when a small band settled around Curve Lake and Mud Lake. The community officially became a reserve in 1837.
Curve Lake First Nation (CLFN) consists of a mainland peninsula and large island (Fox Island) on Buckhorn and Chemong
Lake. Curve Lake First Nation also coowns smaller islands located throughout the Trent Severn Waterway system. The total land base of the First Nation is approximately 900 hectares.
Exploring the beautiful lakes and rivers, you can find remnants of the logging industry that brought early settlers and workers to the Buckhorn area. If you’re hiking the historic trails, you can get a glimpse of the majestic granite rocks and tall trees that make this one of Mother Nature’s splendours.
Lock 31 is in the heart of Buckhorn and a short walk to amenities.
Buckhorn’s Lock 31 is one of the busiest destinations along the Trent-Severn Waterway.
Settler John Hall purchased the property on both sides of the rapids in 1828. Over the next four years, he constructed a dam and mill.
Lock 31 opened in 1887 and connects Upper Buckhorn Lake and Lower Buckhorn Lake, with bridges over the connecting channel.
In 1972, the once manually-operated
Lock 31 was upgraded for a concrete, mechandized operation. On the park beside the lock, you can see remnants of the old lock system.
The dockage in Buckhorn offers power to some stations but due to popularity, mooring overnight is restricted to one night.
There are a couple of parks located at or near the locks that you can use for a picnic or bbq lunch.
Monday – Thursday Friday – Sunday and Victoria Day
Monday – Thursday
Friday - Sunday; Canada Day*, August Civic Holiday and Labour Day
Monday - Friday
Saturday - Sunday; and Thanksgiving
NOTE: Lockstations close to the public 30 minutes after last lockage and are unstaffed after hours. Authorized visitors are asked to exercise caution. Unpermitted access to lockstations is prohibited between 10pm and 6am. For emergencies after hours, please call 911 for police, fire, ambulance. Please check with Parks Canada at 1-888-773-8888 to confirm dates and times.
The Buckhorn area is the perfect place to explore nature from the water.
Take a leisurely kayak or canoe ride along the shores of our beautiful lakes.
As the sun rises or sets, you can see birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Many of our resorts offer watercraft rentals or are included in your holiday package. There are also local businesses that rent these if you’re staying at a cottage or B&B.
The Trent-Severn Waterway is a 386km marine highway that cuts through Buckhorn on its way north and south. Whether you’re just cruising through, dropping by for some lunch
or making it an overnight stop, you’ll get to enjoy hospitality and the majestic scenery.
Houseboating has become more popular in recent years. Taking a cruise around the lakes and through the locks, enjoying time with family and friends on the water. Anchor in one of the lazy bays on Buckhorn Lake overnight and enjoy the sunset from your own floating deck. A great way to relax and experience lake life.
Buckhorn Lake is one of the province’s premier fishing
The 3,222-hectare lake (often referred to as Lower Buckhorn) is popular for fall muskie fishing, early summer bass, and consistent walleye, crappie, and panfish action, particularly around weed edges.
Some of our resorts host fishing derbies in the summer to give your kids an introduction to the sport of fishing and can be fun for the whole family. The Buckhorn District Lions Club holds their Kids Fishing Derby at Blue Heron Resort on June 21.
Ontario Family Fishing events give you the opportunity to fish our waters without a license three times a year -- May 9 and 10; June 20 and 21; and June 27 to July 5. At all other times, Canadian residents between the ages of 18 and 64 years need to purchase a license to fish. Check at the Buckhorn Welcome Centre to find out where to pick up your license.

Great Outdoors
Mother Nature has blessed the Buckhorn area with natural beauty.
Enjoy the fresh air of the country in many ways throughout the Buckhorn area. There are trails for hiking, snowmobiling, ATV-ing and biking, parks for enjoying a picnic lunch and one of the best beaches in the Kawarthas at Sandy Lake.
Hiking trails, through Mother Nature’s backdrop of granite, forests and rivers can bring you to your own sense of wonder. The Kawartha Highlands Signature Site Park is the second largest provincial park in Ontario. The entrance just north of Buckhorn gives you access to a 1.5km hiking trail along the Mississauga River. This site features a special interpretive trail that tells the story of the River, its history and how it is linked to settlement and the history of the Buckhorn area. There’s an entrance to the park just north of the lights in Buckhorn. You can find out more about this, and other area trails at www.alltrails.com.
For the duffers in the crowd, the Buckhorn area boasts several world-class golf courses, designed to take advantage of the natural landscape. No matter what your skill level, you’ll find the perfect course to practice your swing.
When Mother Nature puts down her blanket of snow, there are kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails, year-round accommodations and fun for the whole family.
Ode’naang Park is located beside the Trent Canal in “downtown” Buckhorn.
The park provides the perfect spot for your picnic lunch or to sit on the bench and watch the boats go into the Lock. Enjoy a slice of pizza or ice cream cone while you enjoy the sights.
For the beach sitters and swimming enthusiasts, Sandy Beach is the place to be. Sandy Beach is known for its expanse of soft sand that extends into Sandy Lake, which reminds many visitors of a Caribbean oasis of turquoise water. Here in Buckhorn, that’s due to the limestone bottom of the lake. There are no lifeguards, but parking and portable toilets are on hand.
“Have just finished a trip to Buckhorn, Ontario, and all I can say is wow, such a beautiful landscape, and beautiful country, lovely people, good food, great views, jealous of all of you that get to see that so frequently!”
Sights Of Interest
While you’re here, stop by the interesting landmarks and attractions in the Buckhorn area.
BUCKHORN WALL OF HONOUR Beside Lock 31, the Wall of Honour is a memorial to our soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Afghan War. The two granite benches amid the beautiful garden is the perfect place for some quiet reflection.
ADAM & EVE ROCKS A short drive or stroll down Adam & Eve Road, atop a short hill, are the remnants of the glacial activity in the area thousands of years ago. These two glacial rocks are named after the original man and woman in Christianity. Folklore has it that if a young couple can hold hands and each touch one of the rocks, their lives will be blessed.
THE CODY INN The Cody Inn sits on top of the hill across from Lock 31. The original house was built in 1905 as a private residence and in 1921, was converted into a hotel named The Windsor House. In 1975, the lodge was purchased by Francis Cody, who renamed it Cody Inn which it remains today. In 2000 the Inn was turned into a restaurant that offers up some of the best Chinese food in the Kawarthas!
BUCKHORN BUCK This statue of Buckhorn Buck was erected to commemorate the namesake of the town of Buckhorn. The area has a huge population of Whitetail Deer, making this the hunters paradise in the fall. It’s the town’s unofficial mascot and is popular with those looking to take a selfie!
