Red Horse Lake
Red Horse Lake is a part of
the 18-mile-long Gananoque River System, a quiet series of inland lakes where
you don't need fishing guides or rough-water boats. You can fish for Northern
Pike, Lake Trout, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, and a wide variety of pan
fish. We have boats and outboard motors for rent, or you can bring your own
boat and launch it on our ramp. We have our own private sand beach for
swimming. You can also bring your own equipment for other water sports.
Please read this important
information about bringing your own boat.
