Casual Beachfront Resort on Balsam Lake Ontario, Canada
A fine-quality housekeeping resort on Balsam Lake.
"...but we miss the scent of the tall pines and the sunsets the most.""
"...and next summer, we'll need two places - Susan and Robert just told us we would be grandparents in the spring!"
"The kids have always said 'summer doesn't start till we've swam in Balsam Lake ... and they are right, you know."
“Guest couples and families have been saying nice things about Balsam Resort for a long time—some for as long as three generations! Although we are always pleased to receive compliments, we can’t take credit for the remarkable natural setting, gentle sand beach, clear, clean lake, tall pines, and some of the most gorgeous sunsets! We are the fortunate custodians of this.
However, we do take credit for adding the amenities you see before you that make it possible to experience and enjoy this natural phenomenon in a high degree of comfort and convenience.”

Indoor recreations include table tennis, bumper, darts. At the waterfront, a slide, a float and a super sandy beach are the main attractions.
