This Weeks's Lake - Redstone Lake

So many lakes, so little time.....last time I talked about Kennisis Lake - today it is Redstone Lake, just down the road! In one word....stunning! Slightly smaller than Kennisis Lake, Redstone too is located in our northern region of the County and has been a cottage destination since the early '60's. The lake covers 118 ha (294 acres), is deep, clean and offers everything from big granite outcroppings to sand beaches. The lake has an average depth of 71.9 ft (21.5 m) and is 270 ft (81m) at it's deepest point.
A cool thing about Redstone Lake is that it holds a unique fish - the Haliburton Gold Lake Trout. This fish is a glacial relic lake trout strain, only found in Redstone and 3 other lakes in our area. It is genetically different from other lake trout and even has a completely different look!

Redstone connects with Little Redstone Lake and Pelaw Lake for tonnes of boating, waterskiing, windsurfing - you name it! 3 boat launches, a beautiful sand beach, scenic islands, granite cliffs.....this lake is dramatic and tranquil all at the same time.
Cottages on this lake range from older, quaint original cabins to properties the average person can only dream of owning - something for everyone.
Both Redstone and Kennisis Lakes flank the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve, famous for it's many lakes to camp and fish on, and it's Wolf Centre and Canopy Walk. The area is definitely an area unto it's own...a real cottage destination.
Deep, clean, clear and dramatic - that's my short version! One more reason to visit and vacation in Haliburton Highlands!
