A bit about the Oxtongue Lake Area Near the northern most extreme of Haliburton County, nestled in against the border of Algonquin Park, is the little slice of natural heaven that is the Oxtongue Lake area. Oxtongue Lake connects Lake of Bays to Algonquin Park via the picturesque Oxtongue River. Oxtongue Lake offers excellent swimming and bathing along the predominantly sandy shoreline. Water clarity on the lake is excellent. Maximum depth of the lake is believed to be 90 feet.
Fishing is good in the area.
Fish species present include small mouth bass, yellow perch, lake trout, rainbow and brook trout and many other smaller species. Abundant wildlife such as ducks, loons, blue herons, beaver, muskrats, moose , deer and foxes call this area home too. Huntsville is a progressive town with a population of approximately 18,000. All amenities are located here, including a hospital and all your shopping needs. Probably the biggest attraction in the area is Algonquin Park - several hundred square kilometers of sprawling wilderness, full of moose, deer, and many other species of wildlife.
