Renowned for its sandy shores, clear water, and tall pines, Danford Lake has been a cottage favourite for many generations. Just under an hour from Ottawa/Gatineau, this lake is also conveniently located 25 minutes from skiing, mountain biking, and golf at Mont Sainte-Marie. Up to 120 feet deep at its deepest, this lake is 2.7km long north-south. If you love to swim, the sandy lake bottom of this lake is just what you’re looking for.

Things I love about Danford Lake:

• Four-season fun – so close to the area’s best skiing!
• Crystal clear waters
• Generally easy access (no crazy cottage roads)
