East Gwillimbury is a rural and historic town and has plenty to offer. Take in one of the many events and concerts at the Sharon Temple, designated a national historic site. Play a variety of golf courses including the prestigious Silver Lakes Golf Club. Rogers Reservoir Conservation Area, home to one of the locks along the "ghost canal" system is a popular spot for birders and hikers. This canal was built to accommodate shipping between Newmarket and Lake Sincoe in 1911 and then never used. Remnants of the abandoned canal, a lock and swing bridge are located in the park. This 96-hectare site is a great place to watch the birds nest and cast a fishing line.
