The Haliburton Highlands is a special part of Ontario, and is considered by many of those seeking to experience the outdoors, to be Ontario's premiere destination. Its countless lakes, streams, trails, and dense forest provide the backdrop for many of Ontario's favourite outdoor recreational activities ... Fishing ... ATVing ... Kayaking...Snowmobiling ... Hiking ... Skiing,..etc. And just like the famous Algonquin Park that it borders, Haliburton has steadfastly resisted any type of development that could take away from its unique natural beauty. |

HALIBURTON'S COTTAGE RESORT WITH A DIFFERENCE
Haliburton County is the District of Muskoka's eastern neighbour. And this unique and and breath-taking section of the Canadian Shield is bordered to the north by Algonquin Park, with it's population centred mostly around just a handful of small villages.
While most lakefront commercially-zoned properties on Haliburton's biggest lakes are being swallowed up by developers, Kashaga Lodge Cottage Resort remains the only "housekeeping" resort near the village of Haliburton. No swimming pool, no weight room, no sauna, no tennis court, no hot-tub, no room service, no spa, no banquet room, no "service" fees, no air conditioning, etc to inflate the cost of enjoying all those wonderful ACTIVITIES that Kashaga Lodge, the Canadian Shield, Lake Kashagawigamog, and the nearby
village of Haliburton have to offer. The cottages are quite privately located and have fully-equipped kitchens, decks, BBQs, cable TV, firepits, picnic tables, etc, all just steps from the beach and the dock on glorious Lake Kashagawigamog. And also, surrounded by trails, trails, and more trails.
Check the Kashaga Lodge RATES page, add 13% HST and the cost of your groceries, and prepare yourself for one of Central Ontario's best lakeside cottage vacation values. YEAR-ROUND!

SNOWMOBILING AT KASHAGA LODGE:
The town of Haliburton is the hub of the Haliburton County Snowmobile Association, the grandaddy of all snowmobile clubs in Ontario. Due in part to the elevation, the Haliburton Highlands has a reputation for getting snow sooner, and keeping it longer, than any other region in south-central Ontario. And KASHAGA LODGE is the closest cottage resort to the town of Haliburton., just 5 minutes by sled or car from fuel, restaurants, sled parts, groceries, beer and liquor stores, coffee shops, and banks. And the town of Haliburton prides itself in serving up old-fashioned hospitality.
Kashaga Lodge’s wide open spaces allow truck and trailer parking right beside your cottage, and sled parking at your door.
ICE FISHING AT KASHAGA LODGE:
The County of Haliburton is Algonquin Park ‘s southern neighbor, and as such, shares almost all the same unique geographical characteristics of the Park itself. Perhaps the most
striking characteristic of this largely undeveloped chunk of the Canadian Shield is the number of lakes, rivers, and streams contained within its borders. To be sure, there is no lack of angling opportunities.
During the hardwater season, Haliburton County offers arguably the best ice fishing in Central Ontario for most species of fish. Mr. WALLEYE is perhaps the most sought-after game fish in Ontario,
and Lake Kashagawigamog possesses the largest walleye population in the County. And Kashaga Lodge Cottages is located right at the north end of this lake just a short ice-walk from some of the best walleye fishing in Central Ontario.
The resort situates 8 huts at various locations nearby according to time of season and apparent feeding patterns.
ATVING From KASHAGA LODGE:
Kashaga Lodge is arguably the best location in Haliburton County for accessing the ATV trails without trailering. The trail inventory accessible from your cottage deck varies from railtrail to the infamous "Goat Trail," Greens Mountain, and everything in between.

KASHAGA LODGE FISHING:
And speaking of Mr. Teeth, that same weekend, these guys drove all the way from from Ohio for their annual assault on Central Ontario's unsuspecting walleye population.
What they discovered was that Canadian pickerel are a lot smarter than their Michigan, Ohio, Wisconson brethren. All of their classic walleye lures that work south of the border, such as their favourite #3 red & white Mepps dressed in a white skirt only amused Kashag's highly discerning pickerel population.
But Kashag's MUSKY population is much less particular, and has a reputation to attack anything that moves whether they're hungry or not. By the end of their three (mostly wet) days of fishing, these six hardcore American anglers, fishing from two boats, actually landed and released no fewer than an astounding 25 musky. Here are a few of their own photos.
