Waterfront homes and cottages on Clear Lake, with local guidance from someone who knows the water.
Start Your SearchClear Lake connects directly to Stony Lake, southwest of it, near Young’s Point and Curve Lake First Nation. The name is accurate: this is some of the clearest water in the Kawarthas, a result of the granite shoreline that marks the start of the Canadian Shield in this part of the region.
At roughly 1,600 acres, it’s a good-sized lake for boating and swimming, with pink granite outcrops and windswept pines along much of the shoreline, the landscape a lot of people picture when they think of a Kawartha cottage. Smallmouth bass and yellow perch are the main draw for anglers.
Most properties here are seasonal or four-season cottages rather than in-town homes, so buyers are usually thinking specifically about cottage life: dock access, road or boat-in options, and how much privacy the property offers. I can walk you through what’s currently available and what to expect from different parts of the shoreline.
