Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park

Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park is a 375-square-kilometre protected area in south-central Ontario and the largest single preserved land area in southern Ontario outside Algonquin Park. Originally a much smaller 18.6-square-kilometre wilderness tract around Bottle Lake and Sucker Lake, it expanded in June 2003 to include many more small lakes and all of Anstruther Lake. The area evolved from one reached mainly by canoe and portage into a mixed landscape of backcountry water routes, road access, and longstanding cottage areas. Officially operational since May 2011, it balances conservation with recreation, including camping, canoe travel, and access to the rugged lake country of the Kawartha Highlands.
