AREA
Haliburton Highlands is the idealistic picture of cottage country attracting cottagers from all over central and southern Ontario. Haliburton is only 2.5 hours from Toronto and White Lake is located east of Kinmount along the Haliburton/Peterborough County boundary. A land locked lake with limited boat traffic, water flows into the lake from Fortescue Lake on the east side and exits via a dam on the north side. From there it flows north into Salerno Lake. Approximately 7.4 km long, White Lake reaches maximum depths of 34', the average depth is 12'. A drawdown occurs in the fall when the lake levels drop. This cover and various structural forms such as points, rock rubble shoreline, drop offs provide excellent fish holding areas major fish species include muskie, large and smallmouth bass and yellow perch.


Note: The weeds have been cleared for 50' radius of the dock and beach
