Description

Waterfront on Katchewanooka Lake & Trent Severn Waterway, in Douro Dummer Twp. Escape to a private island of .94 acres in the picturesque Kawartha Lakes District. Douglas Island marks the beginning of the northern portion of Katchewanooka Lake. Very privately sited & boasting over 1,300 feet of pristine shoreline. On the east side, a canal was dug in the 1920s to create the island, separating it from the mainland so that log booms could be floated down the river to saw mills every spring. The protected cove off the islands north side is deep enough to provide a potential docking area & mooring for large cruisers & sailboats, as it is protected from storms, wind & wakes from boats. The 10 to12 foot water depth along the eastern shore offers an ideal spot for dropping anchor in a restricted speed zone. The southern shore is quite shallow in several places & features some excellent swimming areas. Very privately sited just off shore from Lakefield College Schools north campus, a sandy margin continues along the whole Northcote property including the beach of Northcote which is just to the south of the island. This tiny treasure is one of nature`s best kept secrets & is an ideal spot for water escapades & setting off to explore the historic 382 km long Trent Severn Waterway. Lightly forested with mature oak & maple that frame the beautiful surrounding scenery, you can take advantage of the high elevation, about 25 feet high at its highest, & delight in long views up & down the lake. On a sunny day, the island is bright with light breezes, sunsets & many varieties of bird life, all can be quite enchanting. Only a 5 minute boat ride to Lakefield Marina. The quaint Village of Lakefield provides conveniences & all of your necessary amenities. Easy access to Hwy 115 & Hwy 407 for GTA holidayers. Imagine having your own island!
