Balsam Lake may be the best place to go fishing in all of the Kawartha Lakes, but locals will always tell you their own favourite spot is the best. All the same, Balsam is a great place to catch Walleye, Muskellunge, plus large and small mouth Bass. A weekend here means amazing fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, biking, and exploring nature to your heart's content. The park also offers bikes, paddleboards, kayak, and canoe rentals, so you can travel light. Best all of, their campground is fitted for RVs with water, power, and dump stations. You can also count on showers, washrooms, and playgrounds for the kids.
