Resort Profile

In the heart of Ontario’s Kawartha Lakes Region, Galvin Bay Park Resort welcomes members and guests to 95 acres of quiet, scenic beauty in one of Canada’s most celebrated lakelands. “Kawartha,” as it was originally called, comes from the native word meaning “bright waters and happy lands.” This dramatic expanse of clear, shining water extends from the Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario. Here you’ll find the warmth and charm of small-town hospitality in nearby Lakefield and all the excitement of a city in nearby Peterborough. Toronto, one of Canada’s largest cities, is about 90 minutes away.

The Village of Lakefield, situated on either side of the Otanabee River at the mouth of Lake Katchewanooka, is a popular shopping center serving tourists and visiting boaters cruising the historic Trent-Severn Waterway. The village’s downtown displays modern stores in a turn-of-the-century setting, and while strolling through the village, vacationer’s find unique shops and interesting buildings from years gone by which dot the community. One of the most interesting old buildings is the Christ Church built of local stone in 1854 by volunteers of many faiths.

The number one tourist attraction in the Kawarthas is in Peterborough, a community of more than 60,000 residents. Here you’ll find the Lift Lock, the world’s highest fully operational hydraulic lift lock. Witness this engineering marvel in action as it lifts boats up to 65 feet on the Trent-Severn Waterway. Not far from the Lift Lock is Peterborough’s Centennial Fountain, which has the highest jet spray in Canada. Nearby is the Art Gallery, which features exhibitions of contemporary and traditional art.

Away from the lights of the city, on the many lakes that dot the Kawarthas, you can head out onto the still, silent waters in pursuit of a variety of fish, including bass, muskie, trout, pickerel, and pike.
