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, and dense forest provide the backdrop for many of Ontario's favourite outdoor recreational activities ... Fishing ... ATVing ... 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. The resorts that grace the shores of Haliburton's abundant lakes are some of Ontario's best kept vacation secrets.... |

Furthermore, there is a pleasant beach, with picnic tables, barbecue, swim raft, kayaks and canoes just 75 metres from the suites.
FISHING :
During the summer months, perhaps the 3 most popular activities engaged in by 
lodge guests are fishing, fishing, and fishing. Although Lake Kashagawigamog is about 10 miles long, Kashaga Bay, at the north end, is renowned for some of the best bass, walleye,
and muskie fishing 
in the County of Haliburton. On Feb 17 / 08, the muskie episode of the Getting Hooked TV Show was aired, which had been filmed last fall on Lake Kashagawigamog. Click on episode #7 on THE GETTING HOOKED WEBSITE to play the whole show on your computer.
On the weekend of July 26 / 08, there's a two-day bass tournament being run from the Kashaga Lodge dock. For information on entering this event, you can visit THE MEGA-CITY BASS ANGLERS WEBSITE.
Kashaga Lodge has two fishing boats to rent. The rate is $25 for a 4 hour period. There are also canoes and paddleboats available free of charge, and decent bass can be caught within a hundred feet of the dock. There is also a marina 2 km down the lake that rents fishing boats by the day or weekend, (and they also have pontoon boats and skiboats,) which can be moored at the lodge's dock. For info, contact Robert's Marina at 705-457-1473.
HALIBURTON ATV TRAIL RIDING
KASHAGA LODGE offers the most ATV-friendly accommodation in the County of Haliburton. ATVers who stay at Kashaga Lodge have DIRECT access
to one of the largest, and most popular, systems of ATV trails
in Ontario. The trailhead is exactly 3 1/2 km of ATV-legal county road from the Lodge, and you ride right past a gas station on the way there. Trail types range from scenic rail trail to extreme rock climbs, and everything in between. There are several days of awesome ATV trails accessible right from your cottage deck.
Kashaga Lodge is located quite centrally within the ATV trails managed by both the Haliburton ATV Association and the Kawartha ATV Association. Although for 2008, HATVA and KATVA have formed an alliance whereby either club's ATV trail pass will be honoured by the other ATV club,
neither Club is a member of the province-wide alliance between the Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs (OFATV) and the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA.) So unfortunately, riders from southern or eastern Ontario who are members of their local ATV club will need a day pass to ride Haliburton or Kawartha trails.
At Kashaga Lodge, we believe that ALL Ontario ATV Clubs should be under one umbrella organization, "One Province - One Trailpass" with ALL Clubs sharing the common goal of providing member riders with a pleasant, safe, and environmentally responsible ATV experience. Until such time as KATVA and HATVA join the province-wide "Trillium Trails Nrtwork" with OFATV and EOTA, Kashaga Lodge will pay for the day pass to allow guests from any Ontario ATV Club to enjoy the Haliburton experience.
