See last photo showing the property. Charleston Lake is located in South Eastern Ontario, just north east of Gananoque. The lake is carved out of the Frontenac Axis, a relatively narrow extension of the Canadian Shield bedrock which dominates the landscape of Northern Ontario. The lake is the principal watershed for the Gananoque River, and boasts prime fishing locations. Charleston Lake Provincial Park is located on the shores of the lake, and offers camping, hiking, boating, fishing and interpretive sessions.2]
Charleston Lake has over 100 miles of shoreline and over 100 islands with over 800 summer and permanent residences on the lake. The water surface is 26.2 km2, and the maximum depth is 91.1 m. A naturally occurring rock and tree formation shows a profile of the guardian of Charleston Lake known as Indian Head.1] Other than Charleston Lake Provincial Park, the County Park and Sand Bay are excellent destinations for day trips.
For five years culminating in 2005, Charleston Lake was the site for re-introduction of the peregrine falcon with the Canadian Peregrine Foundation, Ontario Power Generation and Leeds County Stewardship Council

| After over 40 years of annual fishing trips to Charleston Lake, this was the first year staying at Lakeside Getaway. Over the years, we have stayed at many rental properties on the lake but this by far was the best experience. We had ample supplies, comfortable accommodations and plenty of dock and parking space. We also appreciated the onsite trash containers and available firewood. The location was very convenient from land and water. We have already booked to stay here in 2026.

| We rent both cottages and it's just perfect for our family. With both shallow and deep water access our children and grandchildren can enjoy the lake.
We use the two kayaks all the time, the barbecues are in good condition, and the outdoor chairs are in great shape.
We have booked again for next summer.

| This cottage has all the accomodations needed for fisherman like our crew. It has huge dock space and is the perfect location on the lake for prime fishing spots. The landlords Mike and Nicole go above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We have been coming here for 8+ years and look forward to renting this cottage each year. If you are a fisherman, a boater, or just like to enjoy lakeside views and being right on the water, this is the place to be. I highly reccomend to anyone looking to rent!

| Perfect family vacation spot on Lake Charleston. This is my 3rd straight year renting with Mike and Nicole, and I am already booked for 2026. We had 7 in our group this past year, and there was plenty of room. Very clean unit, great view of the lake, and all necessary items for a weeks stay is provided. The dock and swim mat are perfect for swimming or just sunning. The small yard and firepit are great for late day gatherings. My family loves fishing, and this is a perfect lake house that is close to a lot of our of favorite fishing spots.

| Communication with owners were timely and forthcoming. Contract was straightforward and an honest reflection of the expectations. Cottage was in good condition and well equipped both with interior and the external supplies being offered. Most importantly, the lake is amazing and steps away from the house. Had a great week.
