Frontenac K&P Trail

Go north and capture the beauty of true Canadian winter. Frontenac County is a great place to experience the opulence of the season. As snow blankets the landscape, replacing the scenery with an alternatively beautiful appearance, visitors enjoy an escape from a bustling city life. The trails are the perfect place to snowmobile, snowshoe or cross-country ski. Fishing huts appear on the abundance of frozen lakes and provide a wonderful place for anglers to drop a line. During the evening the stars feel larger and closer and seem to shine that much brighter as they reflect off the glistening snow. 

 

Here Fishy Fishy

Anglers flock to Frontenac each year to take in the world-class bass, walleye, pike, and crappie fishing that the 5,000 lakes in this region have to offer. In fact, some of the world’s greatest fishing and boating opportunities can be found here.

Try your hand at kayak fishing. The calm, clear lakes of Frontenac Provincial Park provide the perfect environment for kayak fishing. Rental shops like the Frontenac Outfitters can set you up with a kayak and all the fishing gear you need. Glide through the water while angling for smallmouth bass, lake trout, perch and pike.

Get Your Paddle On

Several routes even take in the water surroundings at Frontenac Provincial Park Kayaks and paddleboards are also available at the start of some routes!

History And Nature Intertwine At Gould Lake Conservation Area

Gould Lake Conservation Area located just outside of Sydenham in Frontenac County is a natural summer haven. This day-use area begs to be discovered with more than 20 km of trails across rolling and rugged terrain. The wetland, woods and shoreline are perfect for wildlife viewing along the way. Another neat feature is the throwback to another time when mica mines operated near Gould Lake. 

In fact, a number of old pits and a large boiler can still be seen on the Mica Trail on the Conservation Area property and mica I easily spotted sparkling from rock faces or along the trail’s edge! It’s for this reason that the Frontenac Arch Biosphere named the Mine Trail Loop at Gould Lake as an Amazing Place – a special place of historic and cultural significance. Cool off at the sandy pristine beach area after a day of hiking!
