With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Bancroft, 20 miles away, has to offer. Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park, Old Tin Shed and Village Playhouse alone justify the drive. Situated 50 miles away, Selwyn is another popular choice. If you drop by, be sure to check out Buckhorn Lake, Lake Chemong and Selwyn Conservation Area.
