Located on Clear Lake between Chaffey's Lock and Newboro Lock, Clear Lake is just one of the seven lakes accessible on this level of the 126 mile long Rideau Canal Waterway. There are wonderful opportunities for boating, swimming, water sports, and fishing for large and small mouth bass, pike, splake, and pan fish.

WHO COULD EVER HAVE IMAGINED IT WAY BACK IN 1967 WHEN WE STARTED.
I have news to share. Nearly 60 years ago, Ed and I assumed the responsibility for running Lloyd’s Cottages from Ed’s Mom, Margaret Graley. Just as we did then, the time has come for another generation of our family to assume these responsibilities. I am happy to announce that Lloyd’s Cottages is officially under new management. I have now passed the reins to two of my wonderful grandsons and their lovely wives. While I will continue to spend my summers there, Michael, Megan, Steven, & Nora Dorsey will be handling the business operations. Along with their exciting plans for updates and renovations, they need to shorten the rental season and modify the reservation calendar accordingly.
