Pristine Lakes & Small Town Charm
As part of the beautiful Trent Severn Waterway, Coboconk is a bustling summer hub and a busy stop for cottagers as well as campers at Balsam Lake Provincial Park. It hosts a 2-day festival each year in June, Canada’s Fresh Water Summit celebrating that Coboconk is the highest point in North America from which you can circumnavigate the world.
Located on the Gull River at the north end of Shadow Lake, Norland is a remarkable town marked by the granite that comprises the Canadian Shield and everywhere are the cedars and pines that are reminiscent of Group of Seven paintings.
Rosedale, the gateway to Balsam Lake, is a small hamlet that is a popular hot spot for residents and visitors alike. With Lock 35 located east of the village, several beautiful trails nearby, and an inviting parkette close to the boat launch, Rosedale is the perfect place to connect with nature.
What better way to spend a day than boating, fishing, swimming, or just relaxing on the lake. Come for a visit... we look forward to seeing you.

Community Updates
On January 7, 2024 the Grand Opening of the new outdoor ice rink in Norland brought the community together to celebrate!
Through community fundraising efforts, a $150,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and hundreds of hours of work by the dedicated volunteers of the Norland's Ward Memorial Park Management Committee, the northern communities of Kawartha Lakes are set for some winter fun.
Thank you to the City of Kawartha Lakes for their support and to the many local businesses in Norland and Coboconk who helped to make the ice rink happen - we couldn't have done it without you!
The ice will be maintained by volunteers...if you'd like to join the efforts, please contact the Ward Park Management Committee or the Chamber office. Let's get skating!
