Lake on the Mountain is like nothing you've seen before. The lake at the top of the mountain is a natural curiosity with a constant flow of clean, fresh water, with no apparent source. 60 metres below are views of the Bay of Quinte, the Glenora Ferry and the north shore. It's a great picnic spot if you're exploring the County. Have a drink at The Miller House and catch a stunning view of the sunset.
