ASSOCIATION NEWS AND EVENTS

Welcome to Buck Lake in the Winter

As winter settles in and Buck Lake is wrapped in snow and ice, our community takes on a quieter, peaceful beauty. Whether you’re enjoying snowy walks, ice fishing, or watching the lake rest under a blanket of white, winter offers a special time to slow down and appreciate the stillness of the season.

We are grateful for the care and responsibility shown by our year-round residents and winter visitors. From safe winter travel to thoughtful property maintenance, these efforts help protect our lake and support one another throughout the colder months.

We wish all of our Buck Lake neighbours a safe, warm, and restful winter season.

Warmly,
The Buck Lake Association

The Buck Lake Guide!

We are excited to share a resource that we created for visitors, renters, and property owners – the Buck Lake Guide. Members of the BLA and residents on the lake can get a physical copy but we also want to make it available for everyone – so it is available here on a website by clicking on the image of it below.

We have begun distributing the Guide to members so please contact us and we will get one to you via our directors. Regrettably we need to inform you that physical copies of the guide will have some links that do not work already, as South Frontenac Township has updated their website and changed some of their links. The version on our website has been updated to include any of the changes.

This site is maintained for the benefit of members of Buck Lake Association Inc., of Buck Lake, Township of South Frontenac, Ontario, Canada.
