( Discover Stoney Lake )
Stoney Lake is a large lake in Peterborough County in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, part of the Trent-Severn Waterway system. It covers approximately 52 square kilometres and is characterized by exposed Canadian Shield granite, clear water, and a rugged, island-rich landscape that makes it one of the most visually distinct lakes in the Kawarthas.
The lake is surrounded by communities including Stoney Lake village, North Beach, and the town of Selwyn to the south, with access from Highway 28 northeast of Peterborough. Stoney Lake connects to the Trent-Severn Waterway, giving boaters access to a network of lakes and rivers running from Georgian Bay to the Bay of Quinte. The Kawartha Highlands Signature Site, accessible by water from the Stoney Lake area, offers paddlers and hikers a backcountry destination directly from their cottage dock.
The Kawarthas as a region sit approximately 90 minutes northeast of Toronto, and Stoney Lake draws guests who want the Canadian Shield character of Muskoka at closer range and generally accessible price points. Guests looking for a more remote experience can explore our Muskoka cottage rentals as an alternative with different regional character.

Stoney Lake appeals to families, outdoor-focused groups, and Kawartha region regulars who return each season for the lake’s distinctive landscape and active waterfront culture.
Stoney Lake is popular with families who want a waterfront experience on Canadian Shield granite, with swimming from private docks and sheltered bays. The lake’s variety of bay configurations means there are properties with gentler swimming entries suited to young children alongside properties with deeper-water dock access for older groups.
The Kawartha Highlands Signature Site accessible by water from Stoney Lake makes this a strong choice for guests who want to combine a cottage stay with backcountry paddling or hiking. The lake itself supports kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding, and its island landscape provides a varied paddling environment. Cottage Vacations properties that include watercraft are noted in each listing.
Stoney Lake’s connection to the Trent-Severn Waterway attracts boaters who want to travel through the lock system as part of their stay. Properties with boat access and dock space for visiting vessels are available in our Stoney Lake portfolio.

Stoney Lake is located in Peterborough County in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, approximately 90 minutes northeast of Toronto. The lake is accessible via Highway 28 from Peterborough, which is the nearest major city. The Stoney Lake area includes cottage communities on North Beach, the south shore near Selwyn, and the islands scattered across the lake.
Stoney Lake shares the Canadian Shield granite landscape and clear water of Muskoka but sits further south and east, making it more accessible from Toronto without the Muskoka drive time. It is generally a less commercial region with a quieter waterway feel, lower price points than the Muskoka Big Three, and direct connection to the Trent-Severn Waterway for boaters. The Kawartha Highlands Signature Site also gives Stoney Lake guests direct paddling access to backcountry wilderness.
