Canada Lakes Area

Caroga Arts Collective
Caroga Lake Music Festival summer season will run from July 18 to August 21 and include over 30 performances by more than 120 artists from a multitude of genres including classical, bluegrass, pop, rock, folk, and jazz

Canada Lake Store and Marina
The General Store has all the "essentials".

Once, the side office functioned as the US Post Office for the lakes. Now with Wi-Fi, plus Heather Fielding's excellent and
new Lake Effect Café , it has so much more!

Nick Stoner Golf Course
It’s located two miles south of the cottage, with the 19th Hole as a bonus.(Who exactly was Nick Stoner?)
