Sturgeon Lake runs through the middle of the Kawartha Lakes region, connected to the Trent-Severn Waterway and flanked by the towns of Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, and Fenelon Falls. It’s a large, navigable lake — popular for fishing, boating, and summer cottage life — and the range of places to stay reflects that variety. You’ll find everything from a full-service resort with a golf course and spa to simple waterfront cottages set up specifically for anglers. This guide covers eight properties on or directly serving the lake, with enough detail to help you figure out which suits your trip.

Situated on Snug Harbour Road off Sturgeon Lake near Lindsay, Myriad Fins Cottage and Marina is one of the more complete operations on the lake — part cottage resort, part working marina. The property has nine numbered cottages plus a four-bedroom apartment, ranging from one to four bedrooms and sleeping between two and twelve guests. All units come with full kitchens, private decks, and BBQs. The property is roughly 1.5 hours from Toronto.
On the marina side, guests can rent fishing boats (14 ft with motor), pontoons in multiple sizes (16, 18, 20, and 24 ft), kayaks, canoes, and pedal boats. Boat rental pricing varies by day of week: weekday rates are noticeably lower than weekend and holiday rates. A 14 ft fishing boat runs $80/day on weekdays or $88 for four hours on weekends; a new 20 ft pontoon goes up to $400/day or $1,800/week. The marina also offers transient overnight docking (from $30/night depending on boat length), seasonal slip rentals at $40/ft, and winter storage from $250/boat. Gasoline is available on site at approximately $3/litre.
Other amenities include free Wi-Fi, a playground, fire pit, and lawn games. The property is pet-friendly with a $40/pet cleaning fee per stay. Weekday multi-night discounts are available: 30% off three nights or 40% off four or more nights.
Located at 83 Laird Drive near Lindsay, Fish and Rest Cottage Resort & Boat Rental Marina (Newly Rebuilt & Newly Furnished Cottages) sits on over 800 feet of waterfront on Sturgeon Lake, directly opposite Goose Bay — an area noted for pickerel and muskie fishing. The resort has been newly rebuilt and refurnished, with cottages in one, two, three, and four bedroom configurations sleeping two to eight people, plus RV accommodations. Shared outdoor amenities include a pool, fire pit area, and large patio.
Fishing boat and pontoon rentals are available on site, and there’s a boat launch pad with trailer parking. The resort actively welcomes fishing clubs, family reunions, and company groups. Cottage pricing starts at $399 for a one-bedroom weekend stay (two nights, two people), with larger units and longer stays priced accordingly — a four-bedroom cottage for seven or eight people runs $699 for two weekday nights. Multi-night packages are also offered: two people for six nights from $750, or six people for six nights from $1,100. The minimum stay is two nights. Pets are welcome for a $25/night fee.
Eganridge Resort, Golf Club & Spa occupies 50 hectares of waterfront property between Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon — a heritage estate setting that puts it in a different category from the other listings here.

Pets are welcome with a disclosed fee of $25 per dog per visit (or $75 if a dog is discovered after check-in without prior notice).

Dock space is available for $50 per reservation (advance booking required). Bedding and linen packs are a separate rental at $50 per bed. The resort does not accept pets.

The property is pet-friendly. The minimum stay is two nights; weekly bookings are preferred in July and August.
