Welcome, folks!

Please note that we are the Friends of Charleston Lake Park and we cannot book campsites.
To book a campsite at Charleston Lake Provincial Park, please go to reserve a camping spot.

Also Note:  If you are coming to the Park from the Ottawa or Cornwall areas, where concentrations of the
Emerald Ash Borer have been found:  this destructive insect has not been found in the Park. 
Please do not bring ash firewood with you.

Don't leave us!   Explore the links above. 
We have lots of interesting and useful information right here on our website about
the Park, the surrounding area and the work of the Friends of Charleston Lake Park.

The winners of our 2011 canoe raffle were Andrew Silver of Toronto and Joe Cvitovic of Montreal .  

The winner of the camping gear was Cathy Donnelly of Tweed, Ontario.  Her family has made a tradition of camping in the Park on Thanksgiving Weekend, where they love walking the trails.  She was particularly anxious to win the camping gear, and insisted to her family that she had in fact  bought that winning ticket.
