An oasis away from the city.
HISTORY
In 1870, the construction of a dam at Bolingbroke raised water levels. The new water level made one lake from the four previous ones, in addition to several adjoining bodies of water, creating a much larger and more significant body of water we now know as Bobs Lake.
The first known tourists attracted to the lakes came not long after Bobs Lake was flooded. In 1872, the K&P railroad was completed along the western shore of Bobs Lake to Tichborne, providing travelers with easier access to the lakes. Well into the 1920s the roads to the lakes, which were intended for horse-drawn vehicles, made travel by auto difficult or not possible in some places. However, when word got out that there was good fishing to be had, the numbers of fishers from Ontario and the USA increased.
BOBS LAKE - FAMILY FUN & FISHING
Bobs Lake is a unique and beautiful part of Eastern Ontario where the family can enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing and much more. For the adventurous there is a three tier jumping rock. For the little ones or family alike there is a small section of beach only a two minute boat ride from the cottage perfect for a picnic. If you have a paddler in the family, Bobs Lake has hundreds of kilometers of shoreline and amazing wild life that makes the lake very scenic. Perfect for the paddler to explore.
Bobs Lake has a very healthy panfish population both in terms of quantity and quality. Some of the confirmed fish species are Northern Pike, Large and Small Mouth Bass, Walleye, Black Crappies, Bluegill and more.
