2025 was defined by a lack of luxury inventory, fewer overall sales, and buyers being highly selective, particularly toward older cottages and properties requiring updates, while well-located and well-maintained waterfront homes continued to sell when priced appropriately.
Cameron Lake lies on the west side of Fenelon Falls, in the heart of the City of Kawartha Lakes. It connects to Sturgeon Lake via the Fenelon River and Lock 34 on the Trent–Severn Waterway, giving boaters access to hundreds of kilometres of navigable water stretching from Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay.
Cameron Lake’s location just 5 minutes from downtown Fenelon Falls makes it one of the most convenient and desirable waterfronts in the region, combining the privacy of cottage living with quick access to shops, restaurants, and services.
