All About Bancroft

The small town of Bancroft is on the banks of the York River in Hastings County, Ontario. A popular destination for rock collectors, the town is known for its huge diversity of mineral and rock samples. Every year, the town hosts a Bancroft Gemboree, which attracts rock enthusiasts from around the world.

Bancroft is also an ideal place for exploring the great outdoors, and is home to some spectacular parks and reserves, with beautiful lakes, rivers and streams. Visit Eagle’s Nest Park and hike to the Hawkwatch lookout for spectacular views over Bancroft, or try your hand at fishing on Baptiste Lake. On the western side of the York River you’ll also find the Hastings Heritage Trail, which was once the Central Ontario Railway line. There’s also plenty of art and culture to explore in Bancroft, and this small town has several outdoor murals as well as galleries to choose from.

The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Bancroft

Bancroft has distinct seasons, but is a lovely place to visit year round. Over summer, many people look for cottages to rent in Bancroft so they can take advantage of the region’s outdoor parks, lakes, and picnic spaces. There are several lakes nearby which offer swimming, and plenty of forest trails to explore. Fall brings sunny skies and milder weather, as well as lower humidity. This is a great time to go hiking or cycling, and especially to visit Eagle’s Nest Park, when the changing colours of the leaves transform the valley. Rainfall is typically at its highest in spring, though this can be an ideal time for exploring town’s murals, galleries, and boutiques. Winter brings cold, snowy weather, and the nearby Provincial Park in the Kawartha Highlands offers cross-country skiing trails.
