This article is about the village in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. For other places named Bethany, see Bethany.
Bethany is a unincorporated village in the Canadian province of Ontario, within the single-tier municipality of Kawartha Lakes. Bethany is centred on Highway 7A, which forms part of the Trans-Canada highway. It is located a few kilometers west of Peterborough, the largest city in the area.
It is a gateway community, in that it services the local winter sport ski hill areas several kilometers north of the village. Since 2000 there has been significant real-estate development, mostly in the form of individual dwellings. To the north are downhill and cross-country ski areas, mostly accessible by paved county roads.
The town has annual celebrations throughout the summer, particularly on the May 24 Victoria Day long-weekend.
The tiny, old post office was restored on the main street. Built in 1875 it is one of the oldest restored post offices in the province (along with Roseneath's).[citation needed]
