It is part of the Madawaska River System that flows from Algonquin Park to the Ottawa River. The lake was created by the construction of the Mountain Chute Generating Station and dam in 1965-1966. Black Donald Lake subsumed the previous White Fish Lake and flooded the former mining community of Black
Donald Mines, whose graphite mine by then was exhausted. AVAILABILITYLast update: November 01, 2021 |

| This is a beautiful cottage on Black Donald Lake. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could ask for. The beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms are spacious even with the king size beds. The waterfront area is a great place to spend those warm sunny days and the deck is lovely for enjoying barbecued meals. Being able to bring our dog with us was an added bonus. The owners are super friendly and very approachable. It is definitely a 5+ and we look forward to returning.

| Cottage is wonderful. Water and firepit are awesome. Kitchen is very well appointed.
Lots of huge windows with waterfront views.
The two main bedrooms are excellence, the smaller bedroom and basement mattresses are not ideal for anyone with back issues / or are of bigger builds.
Can't recommend enough!

| We've rented a cottage in the summer annually for the last 20 years. This is the best cottage that we have ever rented for the following reasons:
i) the cottage is modern with all amenities you could wish for (including AC and high-speed internet);
ii) the cottage is far enough from each neighbor that it doesn't feel like suburbia;
iii) the lake is beautiful and deep and great for swimming and kayaking;
iv) the vista from the cottage is crown land, hills, and an island;
v) the neighbors are super friendly and welcoming;
vi) the hosts' parents are just down the road to take care of any issues that arise; they too are awesome but not intrusive (they removed our garbage and recycling from the garage without us even knowing!);
vii) the area is breath-taking with tons of opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and swimming. This region is much less congested than parts of Ontario closer to Toronto, which is great. Calabogie is a great little town with, among other things, a brewery and a nice restaurant. Renfrew is the closest 'big town' and is a beautiful example of small-town Ontario with a vibrant main street; it's a great place to visit for groceries or rain days (the NHL museum there is awesome!!!).
Overall, this cottage is by far the best place we have ever rented. We can't wait to come back again next year!

| Stayed for two weeks in July, 2021. Wonderful cottage, although more a home than a cottage. One week on our own, second week with the grandkids.
More than amply stocked with kitchen utensils , including sharp knives! Lovely separate dining room.
Grandkids very pleased with their fishing success off the dock as well one morning from the canoe - 11 to 13" smallmouth bass.
Magic carpet was an in-water hit.
Morrow Lake waterfalls was a nice walk as was the hike up to Eagle' Nest Lookout.
Lots of nature subjects to photograph around the property.

| This is a fabulous cottage to get "off the grid" and relax, while being close to activities and other amenities. Alexis and family really provide for everything you need - the cottage is very well stocked (especially the kitchen - lots of utensils, plates, glasses, pots and pans etc) with fresh linens, lots of very good-quality towels, and comfortable beds. And the place was completely spotless when we arrived! Lots of space to store things, great view of the water from the deck, and the firepit by the lake was well-used! We enjoyed sunsets just about every night. The cottage is also close to Calabogie town and lots of hiking. If you need wifi, the quality of connection is very good (my partner needed to dial into a meeting while we were away and he had no trouble at all). Alexis is incredibly responsive as well if you have a question or need anything. I'll be looking to book for next summer - great stay, very comfortable and very relaxing!
