425 Camp

Camp 425 is a backcountry campsite situated on Buzzard Lake in the Kawartha Highlands, accessible by canoe as part of multi-day paddling routes. The site faces east, offering good morning sun before becoming shaded later in the day.

Its position in a channel makes it a popular corridor for paddlers passing through, and the area is notably active for loon watching, likely due to the channel location. Swimming is available near the base of a rock close to the takeout.

The site is reachable via a combination of paddling and portaging — one documented approach from Turtle Lake involves roughly 1,954 metres of portaging over multiple carries. Cottages and another campsite are visible across the lake.

Campers should be aware that ticks have been reported in the area.
