All about Kennisis Lake

Located in Haliburton Highlands in southeastern Central Ontario, the 4,100-acre Kennisis Lake invites visitors to explore its rocky, irregular shoreline in canoes or kayaks, sample freshly caught perch and bass dishes at local restaurants, and cast a line or two of their own for trout and walleye. The local wildlife isn’t confined to the water — the forests that envelop the lake are home to bears and moose.

In summer, the lake’s deep blue waters are an ideal spot to spend sunny days power boating, water skiing, and pontooning, while winter trips are rewarded with snowmobile paths and miles of skiing and snowshoeing trails to the south. A trip west to nearby Dorset Lookout Tower will give you the lay of the land — the observation deck on the former fire lookout tower sits 465 feet high above Lake of Bays.

What are the top things to do in Kennisis Lake?

Fishing

Kennisis Lake is a haven for fishing enthusiasts, from experienced anglers to beginners. During extremely cold weather, ice fishers drill rectangular holes into the lake’s frozen surface and catch Haliburton Gold lake trout by sending hooks or spears into the icy depths.

Norah’s Island

At 22 acres, Norah’s Island is the largest island in Kennisis Lake. According to the final wishes of its previous owner, the island was donated to a land trust to protect it from development. It features native trees, some bat species, and rare varieties of orchids. Visitors can travel here by boat for tranquil picnics among the ferns and honeysuckle.

Boating

While there are plenty of opportunities to admire the lake’s placid waters from the rocky shore, boats are the most popular way to enjoy them. The south shore marina offers supplies, licenses, lessons, and boat rentals if you’re keen to skipper your own vessel. Alternatively, you can leave the controls to a professional. Keep a lookout for deer and waterfowl appearing between the trees.
