Our location on Upper Buckhorn Lake, part of the Trent Severn Waterway, allows Scotsman Point guests easy access into Pigeon Lake, Big Bald Lake and Chemong Lake, with many miles of fabulous boating and some of the best recreational fishing available. Buckhorn Lake is well known for great Kawartha Lakes fishing, with species including muskie, walleye (also known as pickerel), perch, carppie, small mouth bass and large mouth bass. We offer a number of fishing packages, including midweek fishing packages, as well as fishing weekends and fishing derbies.

We offer a number of affordable midweek fall packages. A Kawartha fall escape gives visitors a chance to leisurely explore the local museums, galleries, restaurants and antique shops of Buckhorn and the surrounding villages.

What can be better after a long cold winter than an Ontario Spring getaway in the Kawarthas? Springtime here at Scotsman Point Resort is a delight. Spring In cottage country is when nature is at her best. It's a beautiful time of year here - peaceful, fresh and exhilarating. In early April, the snow melts away to reveal emerging wild flowers and a landscape that quickly reverts to green from white. After the ice breaks up on Buckhorn Lake, it doesn't take long for things to warm up. Spring is the perfect time for all those who enjoy observing and photographing wildlife, for taking scenic walks and hiking along Kawartha trails, and for exploring this beautiful area in advance of the summertime crowds. May and June are also the ideal months to enjoy a spring Ontario fishing getaway in the Kawarthas. At our Kawartha Lakes resort we offer attractive spring midweek fishing packages at great rates. We provide you with your choice of comfortable lakefront housekeeping accommodations and your choice of boat and motor package. Boat docking is also available, should you wish to bring your own fishing boat.
