Cannington Resort

Cannington Lake is an elevated lake situated in a Boreal Forrest on the eastern edge of Moose Mountain Provincial Park. This spot is an excellent location for anyone with a canoe or kayak. The lake is not too large, rarely has strong winds and is generally very peaceful and quiet. The resort also has a 6 km long nature path that is surrounded by no less than 5 ponds along the way. There is plenty of berry/nut trees/bushes growing along the way for you to enjoy during your time on the trail.

Cannington Resort currently has over 20 lots owned with 6 cabins currently occupied in the resort.

History

---

Cannington Resort was once a popular resort, the population would grow in the summer months. It was home to several powered and unpowered campsites, several BBQ areas, 2 boat launches, a beach, several rent-able cabins, a miniature golf course and other services. Over the years the lake water levels declined severely so many of the residents had moved their cabins away. In recent years, lake levels have been on the rise which in turn may rejuvenate the area into a summer retreat once again.
