    Such a scenic and beautiful lake, unbelievable area and histories to go along with it too! The Great Fire is probably one of the craziest stories, and the lake was used for safety!

    When I was younger I used to attend a summer camp on the shore of Lake Timiskaming called Camp Lorraine. At this camp we did many fun things, but my favourite part was always canoeing and swimming in the lake.

    Growing up by the beautiful Lake Temiskaming was wonderful. It is a gem! There are many activities all year long and gorgeous sights alongside the lake. A run/walk/bike ride/etc on the STATO trail is recommended!

  • I love this lake.
