Mr J.

Here is a photo of a map of Charleston lake. At WestMeath you were asking about the lake and possible canoing areas.
As mentioned there is the bottom end of Runnings bay (from the islands down to the marsh) and there is also an area about 1/2 way up Runnings along the northWest shore called Pergatory cove that is motor boat free and is very sheltered.




I've also put this in the Charleston weekend thread...

Wholly crap is that the whole lake? It's huge

Thanks Andre, do you know where the camp ground is on this image so I can get a bearing?

I've got my spots picked out already!

yup its the whole lake (there are 2 small bodies of water at the top left and lower left that are not part)
The park owns most of the areas in brown.

If you look at the map, there are 2 green boxes which say Charleston Lake Provincial park. (if you save to your computer you should be able to blow it up abit)
Just below the lower Box there are 3 white triangles...Thats the group camping area (off of Mud bay ...lower portion of lake)

if you want a clear map with all the depths and place names check Pathfinders.. they carry the Trax maps , I believe I paid $24 last yr. 20"x28" and Laminated

Andre,
Where abouts do buy those maps you mentioned "pathfinders"?? I have a map of the lake that shows depths but it is not very detailed. I would like to buy a better one.

My favorite spot is just east of that little island.

Mine is the other little island only 1/2 covered in trees

E,

There is a pathfinder maps right on the highway in Carleton Place, I think he'd have it, the place is overflowing with maps.

Cheers,

MH

If yoou look over to the left--yep right there--there I am on shore under that tree.
