About

Pineaires Resort is a family and retirement campground located on Sandy Lake!

Opening in 1946, Pineaires Resort was originally developed for tent camping. Over the years, the park grew to have the 150 sites and 6 waterfront cottages it has today.  The many winding roads and dead ends give the park a much smaller feel, and truly sets it apart from the cookie cutter rows of more modernly developed campgrounds. 

 

Sandy Lake

Nestled between Pigeon Lake and Buckhorn Lake, Sandy Lake is landlocked, and not part of the Trent Severn Waterway. A small creek at the south end of the lake, known as Sandy Creek, flows from Sandy Lake to Buckhorn Lake - this is a beautiful paddle, although it requires a short portage over a beaver dam. As this passage is not accessible with motor boat, Sandy Lake has very little boat traffic, making it an ideal spot for paddle sport! The spring fed lake has a natural limestone bottom - this keeps the lake seaweed free, gives the lake its unique turquoise colour, and its Caribbean feel. 

 

Fishing

Sandy Lake is a hidden gem for fishing! Both novice and accomplished fisherman will enjoy fishing for: blue gill, sun fish, small mouth, large mouth, walleye, and muskie. Please note fishing is not permitted along the shoreline or off of boat docks - at the boat launch we have a designated fishing dock.
