Lake Bernard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Bernard (45°44′N 79°23′W) is a lake in Ontario, Canada, about a 3 hour drive North of Toronto. It measures roughly 2.5 km (1.5 mi) across and 7 km (4.3 mi) long. It is a very clean freshwater lake. Sundridge, Ontario is a tourism town which lies on the northern shore of the lake.
Lake Bernard is the holder of an interesting geographical record: it is the largest freshwater lake in the world to not have an island. Years ago, the lake was primarily used as a logging lake, and one may still see many logs which have become waterlogged and sunk to the bottom of the lake.
Lake Bernard used to go by the name of Stoney Lake, due to the large number of rocks around the southern and eastern shores of the lake.
The shores of the lake have been developed with non-permanent residences and cottages.
