Welcome to Cottage Country’s Daytripping Summer Feature

The Ontario Cottage Country Region is rich with towns, cities, hamlets and communities that are filled with experiences and local treats that you might not know about. Around every twist and turn on our country roads residents and business owners are curating one-of-a-kind experiences for those wishing to embrace them. Parallel to none is our hiking, lakes, rivers and festivals. The Cottage Country region is filled with hidden gems, spectacular settings, and brimming with vibrant arts and cultural business communities. Enjoy the character of the Villages and as you travel through our region and get to know why we choose to call this place ‘home’.

You’ll find lots of ideas in the next few issues of our  magazine – we have dubbed them the ‘Daytripping’ Issues and we want to direct you to some of the greatest attractions, events and businesses in Cottage Country; all the way through to the Fall. Whether you are looking for something to fill a day, a weekend – or a week – destinations are waiting for you to fall in love with the landscape and pace of our rural roads.

We invite you to travel the area we call home; stop in every small town dotting the countryside – you never know what you will find; and we like to brag about having the friendliest people! Along one of the many beautiful roads leading through quaint towns and villages you will find amazing food, inns and resorts, events and glorious Cottage Country sunsets from a new perspective.
