Winter’s
at its Best in Northumberland
Whether you’re planning a
romantic weekend for two, or a March break vacation for
the whole family, there’s plenty of scope for fun
and relaxation:
• Enjoy cross-country skiing or snowmobiling
in the Northumberland or Ganaraska Forests, or take in
a dog-sledding package courtesy of The Victoria Inn in
Gore’s Landing
• The
Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival runs March 14, 15.
Come and see how a little artisan village opens its doors
with this sweet celebration.
| •
A popular spring event is the Waterfowl Festival at
Presqu’ile Provincial Park in Brighton –
it happens March 14, 15, 21 and 22 and gives you a
one-of-a-kind opportunity to see thousands of migrating
ducks, geese and swans. Or take in the crazy craft
at the Float
Your Fanny Down the Ganny river race in Port Hope
on April 4 |

Breathtaking
scenery and fresh air provide a rejuvenating backdrop
for a wide range of outdoor activities which we’ve
bundled together in our free Outdoor Adventure Map featuring
five
cycling tours, fishing
and boating opportunities, geocaching, prime birdwatching areas, golf
courses, over
21 trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, horseback
riding and mountain biking. Take a look at what
people are saying about our trails.
Don’t
leave without trying some of Northumberland’s unique
cultural and culinary experiences like our new Oak
Heights Estate Winery where you can sit high up in
the dining room overlooking our snow-covered rolling hills.
Another unique experience is eating in the former Cobourg
Jail (Capone’s Restaurant) which is part and parcel
of The King
George Inn. Sleeping in a converted jail cell will
give the kids something to talk about!
