The Municipality of Clarington is ideally located along the Lake Ontario Waterfront to the south, the Oak Ridges Moraine to the north, with large swaths of picturesque rural landscape and many kilometres of wooded trails located within Conservation Areas.
Clarington is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy cycling along our numerous trails and our pristine waterfront. We're also home to some of the best sport fishing on the north shore of Lake Ontario.
