About
Our Lakes
-
Lake Waseosa
Lake Waseosa is the largest of our four lakes, however still relatively small at approximately 157 hectares. The name Waseosa is said to be given by the Indigenous people of the region and means “Lake of Shining Waters.”
The lake has been home to Camp Huronda, a diabetic children’s camp since 1971, and is a lively and wonderful neighbour to local residents.

Jingo (Jessop) Lake
Jingo Lake (some call it Jessop) is known to residents as the most fun lake in the ‘association’. Tiny but mighty, Jingo boasts the 19 grooviest cottages in Muskoka. We've got modern, we've got mobile, we've got rustic, and we've got 'none of your (beaver) damn business', but all are proud owners and residents of the highest lake in the LWRA (we flow into Waseosa!)

Ripple Lake
Ripple Lake is a narrow, shallow lake of 19.5 hectares, with an average depth of about 6 meters.
There are approximately 32 lakefront lots on Ripple (including four that also front on to Palette).

Palette Lake
Palette Lake is a small shallow lake, named after its shape which is reminiscent of a painter’s palette. It is almost divided in half by a shallow peninsula with a small island at the narrows. The lake is home to 42 residences. Its size lends itself to self-propelled watercraft, so canoes, kayaks and paddleboards are a common sight. Its average depth is 20 feet, and its deepest spot is 30 feet, so it warms quickly in the summer, and is excellent for swimming.
Palette Lake has a healthy population of Smallmouth Bass, as well as otters, herons, snapping turtles and kingfishers.
