Just a 20 minute drive south of Antigonish, you'll find Cameron Lake - a popular lake to fish in Antigonish County that is stocked regularly with both Rainbow & Brook Trout in recent years. On the northwest edge off of Pinevale Road, there is ample parking space where you can access the lake via shore and the boat launch. Nearby, you can fish Gillis Lake as well - this lake is also stocked. Both Cameron and Gillis offer an extended season for trout fishing, giving you even more chance to land a nice one!
