Otter Lake
Otter Lake is located just outside of Parry Sound between Lake Joseph and Georgian Bay. The crystal-clear waters and stunning sunsets make it the perfect location for swimming, fishing, boating, and other water activities. The lake is known for its excellent fishing, with anglers coming from all over to catch smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. It's also very close to hiking trails and Oastler Lake park making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.

Both the CNR & CP rail lines go past Otter, one by the narrows and one at the north end. The “Long Arm” is a long bay to the west & “Little Long Arm” protrudes to the east. about 2 hours drive from Toronto.
