Welcome to Butterfly Lake, a tranquil lake just minutes from Port Carling. The lake is easy to find, located at the intersection of Highway 118 West and Muskoka District Road 169.

Summer may be over, but Butterfly Lake is still the ideal place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Muskoka. While you may not lay back on your private dock, soaking up the sun’s rays during the day, you can still put on a light sweater and hang out on the dock admiring the scenery.

Welcome to Bernard Lake. You may have heard of it referred to as Lake Bernard as well. Regardless of what you call it, Bernard Lake is an oddity among Muskoka lakes. Located near Burk’s Falls and on the shores of Sundridge. it is one of the larger freshwater lakes without an island.

There is good news though, a good portion of the shallow waters around the shore remain sandy, as the name of the lake suggests.

If you are lucky enough to find one of the naturally sandy bottom spots that make swimming a delight, stake your claim quickly. Kick back and spread out on the sand and soak up some rays. You might find these prime parts of the lake a little busier, especially for other swimmers.
