On tour in Canada through to Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec and Chicoutimi, Eli Wolfe stays at a cabin in Buckhorn. The howls soon started a barrage of barking from dogs across the lake!

A little about Buckhorn and Buckhorn Lake:
White tail deer, beaver, otters, wolves, turkey and ruffed grouse can all be seen at the park. Trails wind through the 4,060 acre-area which bumps up against Peterborough Crown Game Reserve.

Buckhorn Lake was created in 1830 when John Hall built a sawmill and dam. The lake was first known as Hall's Bridge, but Mr. Hall's habit of displaying his large collection of deer antlers on the outside of the mill led to the name Buckhorn Lake. The name wasn't officially changed until 1936 long after Hall's death. Before Mr. Hall passed away in 1883, he gave every female in the community a plot of land to encourage the hamlet of Buckhorn to grow. It has grown while at the same time maintaining its charm. There are restaurants (some on the water), shops with unusual treasures, and historic buildings to stroll past. The community of Buckhorn has parks on both sides of the locks with nature walks and ample opportunities for bird watching. There are bike trails, and in the winter there are over 124 miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling and cross country skiing.

Buckhorn Lake is the sixth largest of all the Kawartha Lakes, but it is the third for shoreline miles. The lake itself has 43.8 miles and the islands have 25.9 miles. The shore is ringed with sand beaches and lakefront vacation rentals. There is real estate available for sale around the lake and in neighboring communities. There are several islands in Buckhorn Lake, including Flat Island and Seaweed Island favored by house boats. The weed beds around Red Rock Island are a particularly good spot for anglers. Pickerel, small mouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, perch and muskie are all abundant in the lake.
