Ontario Lakes, they are not all created equal!

Ontario Lakes and/or River choice for your cottage or waterfront purchase

---

As You Search to Buy a Cottage you may expand your territory to find a wider variety of properties that you like. Consider not only the area but research the lake also.

Larger lakes have more boat traffic and are much busier in the summer. If you enjoy boating, fishing and water sports a smaller lake may not fulfill your family needs.

Lake quality is determined by age, size and a variety of other factors. Lakes are classified by description based on their age and the amount of nutrients. Over time sediment from the surrounding land and watershed fills in the lake bottom.

This sediment, rich in nutrients, increases the fertility of the lake. Scientists refer to this as the trophic states of the lake.

A shallower lake that is rich in nutrients can have a thriving fish population but can also result in weed growth.

Human activities can also have a dramatic affect on a lake, manicured lawns, septic systems and local agriculture increase the level of nutrients that can accelerate the aging process and even cause major problems such as algae blooms.

Do some research into the lake you are thinking about buying a cottage on. There are numerous ways to do this research including though the internet, topographic maps, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Conservation Authorities.

Don't forget to visit the local municipal office and get some first hand information. See if a copy of the official plan is on the internet and if there are proposed changes that may affect your purchasing decisions.

Check with locals, at the store, fishing tackle shop...there is a wealth of information here.

If you are considering buying a cottage in the winter, spring or fall keep in mind all of the above conditions. Peak summer can have a dramatic effect on the lake, privacy and traffic.
