Boating incident results in two being rescued from frigid waters in Cameron Lake

By Hailey MacDonald Oct 18, 2025 | 7:20 AM

Members from the City of Kawartha Lakes Detachment of the OPP responded to a capsized canoe on Cameron Lake.

City of Kawartha Lakes OPP along with fire and EMS were dispatched to a boat that had capsized on Cameron Lake at approximately 10:42 am on October 15, 2025. The canoe was carrying two males, both of which were able to hold the capsized boat until rescued by a nearby boat. Life jackets were not present in the boat. The OPP stated due to lowering temperatures in the water, this could have resulted in a much worse outcome.

The OPP is committed to boater education, marine patrol/law enforcement and saving lives on more than 110,000 square kilometres of Ontario waterways. With capsized vessels and falling overboard the top contributing factors in boating deaths every year, a significant number of lives stand to be saved if boaters, personal watercraft users and paddlers wore a lifejacket or personal floatation device.
