Fenelon Falls, village in Ontario, Canada
Fenelon Falls is a village in the Kawartha Lakes region where the Trent-Severn Waterway passes through Lock 34. The community sits at the meeting point of Cameron and Sturgeon Lakes, offering shops, dining spots, the Maryboro Lodge museum, and access to paddling routes and boat traffic.
The village grew around the Trent-Severn Waterway system, which historically served as a route for transporting goods and people. This waterway connection remains central to the community, with boats still regularly passing through Lock 34 as they did in earlier times.
The name Fenelon Falls comes from the waterfalls that plunge into the limestone gorge at this spot. Walking through Colborne Street, you will see galleries displaying local paintings, pottery, and glasswork that give the village its creative character.
The village is easy to explore on foot, with free parking available throughout the downtown area. Most shops, restaurants, beaches, and attractions are within short walking distances of each other, making it simple to move between activities without needing to drive.
The historic Maryboro Lodge building was once a private estate and now serves as a museum sharing personal stories from the area's past. The Grove Theatre offers outdoor performances under the open sky, where visitors can enjoy live shows in an amphitheater setting surrounded by nature.
