The Kawartha Lakes Region
includes communities with names familiar to many and associated with happy memories. From
Bobcaygeon's swing bridge and lock to the incredibly beautiful rocky shores of Buckhorn,
Sandy, and Curve Lake, to the small town atmosphere of Burleigh Falls, Apsely, Young's
Point and Lakefield, there is no shortage of things to do and places to visit in the
Kawarthas.
The most unique lake in the Region is Sandy Lake. It
is spring fed, quite shallow, and has a white sandy bottom (hence the name Sandy Lake).
What makes this Lake so unique is its clearity and colour. On a sunny day, the water is an
aqua colour - you'd think you were in the Caribbean! The lake is about a mile across and
four miles long, so it is almost always calm - great for canoeing, paddle boating and
kayaking. Also, since the lake is shallow it's great for kids, and warms up very early in
the season.Casa Mañana cottage is very secluded and is located on
prestigious Sandy Lake. It is a 3,000 sq. ft. cozy A-Frame style finished with a unique
South-Western/Navajo decor. It has seven bedrooms, a living room (with fireplace),
kitchen, dining room, family room, three 4-piece bathrooms, and a screened-in porch. It is
surrounded by 1,100 sq. ft. of deck overlooking the lake. The shore line is approximately
160 ft. of rugged granite flowing into a white sandy bottom. There is a fire pit, a dock,
a picnic table, and plenty of Muskoka style chairs to relax in. Water sport equipment
includes a canoe, kayak and paddle boat. An aluminum fishing boat is also available. |
