Located between Lake Ontario, Lake Scugog and Lake Simcoe, the region offers not a centralized cultural district but a wide variety of individual artist studios, independent galleries, music venues, museums, breweries and restaurants strung along an equally wide variety of trails, roads, rails and waterways.
