York, Durham and Headwaters

An ideal setting for outdoor activities, York, Durham and Headwaters is a rural area that's home to a large part of Ontario's Greenbelt, a zone that protects a variety of natural environments. As a neighbor to the Greater Toronto Area, this part of the province also gives you access to the vibrant urban scene.

Venture into vast forests, discover wetlands inhabited by a diversity of wildlife, take a cultural getaway to the neighboring region, admire the natural heritage site of the Cheltenham Badlands, take an ice fishing trip or sail on Lakes Simcoe and Ontario!

The region's many parks and conservation areas such as Sibbald Point Provincial Park and Nashville Conservation Area are popular with horseback riders, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts, hikers and snowshoers. The hills and wide-open spaces of the region also provide a great environment for golf, and you'll find many magnificent courses around Richmond Hill, Markham and Caledon.
