'Lake Bernard' is a lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario, Canada, between Toronto and North Bay. It measures roughly 2.5 km (1.5 mi) across and 7 km (4.3 mi) long. Sundridge, Ontario, is a tourism town which lies on the northern shore of this clean freshwater lake.
It is claimed that Lake Bernard is the holder of an interesting geographical record: it is the largest freshwater lake in the world without an island. ^[1]
Lake Bernard used to go by the name of Stoney Lake, due to the large number of rocks around the southern and eastern shores of the lake. Years ago, the lake was primarily used as a logging lake, and one may still see many logs which have become waterlogged and sunk to the bottom of the lake.
Fish species in the lake include smallmouth bass, lake trout, whitefish, yellow perch and rock bass. Because Lake Bernard is large and deep, fishing is relatively poor for bass, but quite good for lake trout and whitefish. Ice fishing is very popular during the winter.
The shores of the lake have been developed with non-permanent residences and cottages.
