Your journey

Driving into the Land O'Lakes

Highway 7 through Eastern Ontario transitions through the granite and forest of the Frontenac Highlands — Sharbot Lake village arrives as a small, quiet community at the water's edge.

Arrival on Sharbot Lake

The Frontenac Highlands' Shield geology is visible everywhere in the Sharbot Lake landscape: pink granite shorelines, clear water, and the boreal-hardwood forest edge that defines this part of Eastern Ontario.

Days on the water and trails

Paddling, swimming, forest walks, and fishing — the Sharbot Lake setting supports exactly the unstructured outdoor time that restorative retreats depend on.
