Our Cottage
Horizon is a cozy family cottage nestled on the shore of Little Bald Lake near Bobcaygeon and Buckhorn. With a large deck overlooking the water and a BBQ to cook tasty dinners, you and your guests will enjoy swimming, fishing, our 2 sit-on-top kayaks, canoe and floating tubes. We also have a large Lilypad floating water mat for playing in the water and lying in the sun (see photo). We have two large docks and a dock ladder to make exiting the lake easier. Bring your own boat or jet ski to tie up at our docks (Oak Shores Marina boat launch is around the corner) or rent from Buckeye Marina in Bobcaygeon and drive the boat across Pigeon Lake to our cottage. Don't forget to get ice cream at the Original Kawartha Dairy in Bobcaygeon. Yum! There is great fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye and perch. One of the best spots is right off the dock. We have a 42" TV, internet and lots of DVDs. With 2 bedrooms in the cottage, a separate Bunkie and 6 parking spaces, this 8 sleeper cottage is great for young families.
What's in the Area
We are near Peterborough, Lindsay and Lakefield. Take our tubes to the Lazy River at the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park and slowly float down this crystal clear natural river with your kids. View Indigenous rock carvings in the Petroglyphs Provincial Park or visit the Curve Lake First Nation Cultural Centre and Miskwaa studio and outdoor gallery. Thinking about the Buckhorn Art Festival in August, we are just 20 minutes away and you can stop at Sandy Lake Beach on the way home as it has tons of shallow sandy bottom swimming. Heading to Boatapalooza on Pigeon Lake or just like cruising? We are on the Trent-Severn waterway so you can boat through Lock 32 in Bobcaygeon to Sturgeon Lake and beyond or just enjoy watching all the action at the lift locks. We are a 30 minute boat ride to Bobcaygeon and a 20 minute drive.
