Welcome to our friendly lakeside village
Natural beauty and rich history
Originally an Algonquin settlement, Sharbot Lake has been a home for lumberjacks, hunters and traders for centuries. It lies amidst the limestone forests of the Frontenac Arch, an archipelago of the Canadian Shield known for its beautiful rolling forests and abundant, clean lakes.
Sharbot Lake itself, stretching 9 km to the east and west of the village, has 99 islands and is home to diverse wildlife. The village of Sharbot Lake, 5 minutes from Highway 7, has a variety of amenities within walking distance including a public beach, playground, restaurant, cafe, grocery store, post office, hardware store, pharmacy, gas station, and the Trans Canada and K&P trailheads.
