Jack Lake

Jacks Lake is a gem of a cottage lake as it offers clean water, rocky shores, great boating and excellent fishing. It’s surprisingly large with many bays and inlets to explore. It’s on the edge of the Canadian-shield, providing a rugged granite landscape under a 2-hour drive from the GTA.

Jacks Lake offers different cottage buying opportunities, including traditional seasonal structures, four-season homes and even a ‘luxury estate’ setting (Jack Lake Estates), which features beautiful homes with managed road access. There is a lodge nestled in the northwest corner of Brook’s Bay (Jack Lake Lodge), which offers cottage rentals. Nearby attractions include Silent Lake Provincial Park, Petroglyph’s Provincial Park, the village of Apsley, and the Kawartha Nordic Ski Club.
