Background:
Balsam Lake Provincial Park is located along a chain of lakes which are linked, via river and canal, to the Trent-Severn Waterway. This region of south central Ontario is known for its pastoral charm. Close at hand are the Haliburton Highlands, the Muskoka Lakes region, and the rugged Precambrian wilderness.
The rolling woodlands that Samuel de Champlain found here centuries ago were completely transformed by 19th century loggers. Today, the reforested landscape is home again to a variety wildlife including white-tailed deer.
