Crotch Lake
Ompah, Ontario
Canoe, Hike, and Kayak
Crotch is one of the largest and most accessible lakes in North Frontenac Park Lands. 77 campsites are available and a marked hiking trail through natural wetlands is adjacent to the southwest portion of the lake. Virtually the entire shoreline of this large lake is Crown land and thus undeveloped and undisturbed. Near the middle of the lake the large peninsulas on both the east and west sides are part of a conservation reserve further protecting the unique environmental features found here.
