I went to Peterborough for the first time last summer not really knowing what to expect.
I came back with a full camera card, a butter tart problem, and a list of things I didn’t have time to do that I’m already planning to go back for.
That’s the thing about this region… Every corner has something that makes you stop and pull over. Every person you meet seems genuinely happy you came. There’s a warmth to the Kawarthas that I wasn’t expecting and that I haven’t stopped thinking about since.
I’ve been recommending it to everyone who asks me where to go in Ontario this summer. And nobody has come back disappointed.
Save this and add it to your summer list. You won’t regret it. 🔖
Have you been to Peterborough and the Kawarthas before? What did I miss? 👇🏻

There are towns in Ontario that surprise you. And then there is Kincardine.
The first time I walked along the harbour I genuinely had to remind myself I was still in Ontario. Something about the lighthouse, the boats, the way the light hits the water in the evening reminded me of back home (I’m a New Brunswick girl!). It has this east coast energy that you just don’t expect to find on Lake Huron.
This guide has everything you need to plan your visit : the beaches, the restaurants, where to stay, and the sunset tradition that has been happening quietly in this town for decades and that I think everyone in Ontario deserves to witness at least once.
Swipe through and save this one.
Have you ever been to Kincardine? Is it going on your list this summer 👇

I’ve got you covered all summer long. Follow along and let’s make it a good one.

I’ll be honest, Peterborough wasn’t on my radar for a long time. It’s one of those places you drive past on your way to a cottage, always meaning to stop, never quite doing it. 🌿
Then I actually stopped.
And now I keep going back.
There’s something about this part of Ontario that feels like it hasn’t been packaged for tourists yet. A small city with a real downtown, surrounded by lakes and forests and history that goes back thousands of years.
Scroll through and I’ll show you exactly how I’d spend a first visit, from the first coffee of the morning to the sunset that completely blew me away!
Some of it will surprise you. Some of it will make you hungry. And at least one slide is going to make you say « wait, that exists in Ontario?! » 🙌
Save this before your next road trip north, you’re going to want it.
👇 Have you ever been to Peterborough? I’ll be back in that area in the Fall so tell me what I missed?

I’ve driven this loop more times than I can count and every single time I find something new to love about it.
It starts just outside Ottawa and winds through some of the most underrated corners of Eastern Ontario.
The thing about this road trip is that it doesn’t ask much of you. You don’t need to plan weeks in advance or drive for hours to feel like you’ve actually gotten away. You just need a long weekend, a full tank of gas, and a willingness to slow down.
I’ve been piecing this route together for years, adding stops, swapping others out, finding the spots that are worth the detour and the ones that aren’t. This is the version I keep coming back to. The one I send to friends when they ask where to go. The one that made me fall in love with Eastern Ontario all over again.
Every stop is in the reel. Save this and start planning.
