Small towns are a significant part of Ontario's charm, especially quaint gems like Fenelon Falls, a village that feels a world away from big-city life, just waiting to be explored. It's the place of small-town dreams, and nowhere like you've visited before. Fenelon Falls can be described as a varied mix of all things you'd like to find in a town like this, full of unique restaurants, shops and cottages to rent along the water. Nicknamed the "Jewel of the Kawarthas," it has a population of around 2,500 people and is mainly known as a tourist town — mostly active in the peak summer cottagegoer season, but you can find trails offering beautiful fall colours in the autumn too. But the best part of this place is right in the middle of all the action: part of its namesake is inspired by a waterfall that runs through the heart of the town. Though nowhere near the stature of major waterfalls elsewhere in the province, Fenelon Falls can...
