Ontario's Doe Lake consists of three connected lakes: Little Doe, where Lawton's Cove Housekeeping Cottages are located, Middle Doe and Big Doe, enough water to provide hours of boating pleasure. For your boating enjoyment, boats and motors are available for rental. Little Doe lake is excellent for water sports such as water-skiing, tubing, wakeboarding and windsurfing. A windsurfer is available for rent. If you bring your own boat our boat ramp can accommodate most of the smaller runabouts and there is a public ramp nearby for the larger boats. Dockage is provided at an extra charge.

On many occasions people have used Lawton's Cove Cottages for family celebrations such as reunions, birthdays and anniversaries. We have even had a wedding here. It would be very difficult for us to have this kind of celebration during our busy season of July and August; however, in the months of May, June or September, we would be most happy to assist in any way possible guests who would like to hold their celebrations with us.

Doe Lake is noted for its excellent fishing. Those who come here to fish on a regular basis have been extremely successful. In the spring and fall the walleye and northern pike fishing is particularly good. In May, June and September we offer very good cottage packages which include a boat and motor. In the summer, small mouth bass are abundant. As well there are lots of panfish, perch and sunfish to attract the young anglers. The children catch many fish off the end of our dock. For the successful fishermen, a fish cleaning hut is provided and we ask that you use this rather than your cottage for cleaning your catch.
