A part of Ontario has made the New York Times’ list of the top places to travel in the world for 2025.
The newspaper has published its annual list of 52 places to visit, showcasing locations around the world.
One Canadian spot made the list at number 40 and it is right here in Ontario.
The N.Y. Times says “this is the year to go” to see the Trent-Severn Waterway, which is a 362 km “system of rivers, lakes and canals” that connects Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay.
“The Trent-Severn is experiencing a renaissance, with the new 65,000-square-foot lakefront Canadian Canoe Museum, the largest collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft in the world,” the newspaper wrote.
“The museum exhibits styles from across Canada — showcasing them in a curved building inspired by, yes, the canoe — and honors the vessel’s Indigenous legacy. The waterway is also undergoing a multiyear revitalization project, which includes retrofitting its monumental hydraulic lift locks, among the highest in the world.”
The N.Y. Times also highlighted rental boat opportunities from Horseshoe Bay Marina, as well as 100 Acre Brewing Co. in Peterborough.
The Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site is located in Peterborough, next to the Canadian Canoe Museum.
