KL Scavenger Hunt

Are you ready for a fun and COVID safe friendly game of #EyeSpyKL?  If so, the new Kawartha Lakes Cultural Scavenger Hunt is for you!

Starting Labour Day weekend, the Arts & Heritage Trail is hosting a Cultural Scavenger Hunt designed to allow safe tourism throughout Kawartha Lakes. The self guided trail, developed in 2017, has over 50 locations.  Among its composition are a number of attractions that share the culture and heritage of our beautiful region.  With cooler days approaching, grab your hoodies and head out for a drive. 

The Hunt explores the engineering marvels of the Trent-Severn Waterway, our heritage villages, historic houses and quaint cottages, as well as amphitheatres for live theatre and cozy storytelling.  Not far from each Scavenger Hunt location are interesting artisans and craft cuisine nestled in villages with magnificent countryside vistas. Put together, its the best of Art and Heritage in Kawartha Lakes.

A staple to any good road trip, a game of EyeSpy is the basis of the Cultural Scavenger Hunt. People visit the cultural locations highlighted on the landing page, find its signature icon; take a photo and then post it to their social media tagging @explorekawarthalakes and hashtag #EyeSpyKL. Participating in the scavenger hunt is a fun, COVID safe way to get out and tour Kawartha Lakes, and may even win participants some cool prizes!

Helping the City of Kawartha Lakes bring the Cultural Scavenger Hunt to life is Brooke Hannah, a soon-to-be graduate of the Graphic Design and Visual Communication program at Fleming College in Peterborough. Brooke was brought on as an intern to design location icons and create the landing page for the#EyeSpyKL scavenger hunt on ExploreKawarthaLakes.com, and has been working closely with the Economic Development division to illustrate the concept and activate the idea.
