Lake of Bays earns its name. Instead of one big basin, it is a tangle of long arms and deep bays, with about 167 km of shoreline wrapped around a lake of roughly 6,780 hectares. Read the full Lake of Bays guide.
Direct waterfront means the lot reaches the water, so you can swim, dock a boat and watch the sun set from your own shore. Frontage, shoreline type and exposure do most of the work on price. A hundred feet of hard sand facing west is not the same as a hundred feet of weedy bay facing north, so compare lakes and shorelines as carefully as you compare buildings.
