Just an hour outside of the Greater Toronto Area, this land of rolling hills is crisscrossed by lakes and streams to create a visitor's paradise in any season. Be pampered and de-stressed when you snuggle into an historical bed-and-breakfast getaway. Pop out of your home-away-from-home for delicious regional cuisine and a great theatrical show. Stretch out on a sandy beach and lose yourself in the waves that stretch endlessly along Lake Ontario – or cruise along the Trent-Severn Waterway.
