A Family Weekend at Rosedale, Trent-Severn Waterway

One of our readers, Julio Martinez, took a weekend getaway to Rosedale, Trent-Severn Waterway, Ontario, and shared the whole family-with-kids experience with us.


šŸ›– Where They Stayed

  • Parks Canada Lock 35 Cabin

ā˜• Best Meals & Coffee Spots

  • Sobeys at Fenelon Falls
  • Campsite cooking on the private BBQ

šŸŒ… Morning

  • Breakfast on the BBQ grill
  • Played catch with their 8-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son
  • Prepped the paddleboard and raft and hit the lake
  • Paddled around for hours before stopping for lunch around 3:00

ā˜€ļø Afternoon

  • Lunch of burgers and steak on the cabin's private BBQ, under a covered picnic area
  • A short hike to collect branches for the evening campfire

šŸŒ™ Night

  • Hot dogs for dinner and s'mores around the campfire
  • Beautiful stars and a pitch-dark night, with owls calling in the distance
  • Perfect early September weather: not too hot, very few mosquitoes

šŸ’” What They Wish They Knew Before Going

  • Don't pack and carry food, logs, and ice. There's a Sobeys nearby with everything at the same price.

✨ Their One Piece of Advice

"An amazing place to disconnect from the city, no electricity or WiFi. Buy enough logs to enjoy a long campfire and enjoy the nights."

šŸ’µ Budget

  • $250 – $500
