Lakeside resort on a pristine semi-private lake, 21 rooms with waterfront setting for weddings, corporate retreats, and group getaways.
About
The Trace at Oak Lake is a 5-acre lakeside resort on Oak Lake, a scenic semi-private spring-fed lake just under 2 hours north of Toronto. The property features over 1,100 feet of waterfront with 10 private cabins and 10 townhouse-chalets, recently renovated. Guests can accommodate up to approximately 80 people sleeping on-site and 120 for day events.
Weddings and events take over the entire property as a private getaway. The resort offers amenities including a sauna, cold plunge, lawn games, BBQs, and campfires. The lake itself is perfect for boating, fishing, and swimming - about half the surrounding land remains undeveloped Crown property, keeping things quiet even during peak summer. Guests get private access to kayaks, canoes, and motorboat launches.
The property is adults-only (19+) during peak summer months (May long weekend through Labour Day). Self-catering is the model - all units have full kitchens. The nearest town is Havelock, about 20 minutes away, with a 24-hour Foodland grocery store.
