UPCOMING EVENTS

Annual General Meeting – Saturday, August 8, 2026 at Harris Park Hall, Perth Road Village – 10am.

 

Watersheds Canada has a shoreline naturalization program called the Natural Edge. They will be hosting two Design Your Own Shoreline workshops/plant giveaways in partnership with South Frontenac Township this year, one this spring and one in the fall. These workshops are completely free and participants leave with knowledge of how to restore their shoreline as well as 50 native plants. We have pre created kits for a wet or a dry shorelines. The kits have 40 trees and shrubs and 10 wildflowers. For more information, check out the posters below.

ASSOCIATION NEWS AND EVENTS

Welcome to Summer at Buck Lake!

As summer settles in at Buck Lake, the lake has truly come alive. The quiet days of spring have given way to the familiar sights and sounds of the season—boats on the water, children swimming from the docks, evening campfires, and the unmistakable call of the loon echoing across the lake.

For many, this is the season we’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re spending every day at the lake or enjoying weekend escapes, summer offers countless opportunities to reconnect with family, friends, and the natural beauty that makes Buck Lake such a special place.

It’s also a time when our community is at its busiest. Seasonal residents return, neighbours reconnect after the winter months, and familiar traditions—from morning paddles and afternoon fishing trips to sunsets enjoyed from the dock—once again become part of everyday life.

As we enjoy everything the season has to offer, we also encourage everyone to help protect the lake we all cherish. Whether it’s practising safe boating, preventing the spread of invasive species, respecting wildlife, or lending a hand at community events, each of us plays an important role in preserving Buck Lake for future generations.

Thank you for being part of our lake community. We hope you enjoy a safe, relaxing, and memorable summer, and we look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events throughout the season.

Here’s to sunny days, star-filled nights, and another wonderful summer at Buck Lake.

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.
