Minden Lake Area Information

Minden Lake real estate is located in the desirable Haliburton County, right next to the town of Minden, which serves as the county seat. 

Named after a town in Germany and originally a logging town, the township of Minden has gained popularity in the recent past for its proximity to larger towns, located less than two hours from the Greater Toronto Area and three and a half hours away from Ottawa.

Within Minden are lots of amenities for locals and residents, such as a post office, gas stations, LCBO, grocery stores and a Canadian Tire.

The Minden Fairgrounds is home to the Haliburton County Fair in summer and a great place to see the Ice Races on winter weekends. 

Minden Community Centre is a great venue to attend concerts or to book for private events, complete with a curling club, baseball diamonds and tennis courts.

Gull River bisects this sleepy town, perfect for tubing into town to help beat the heat of those hot Ontario summers.

The township of Minden is also home to the Gull River Golf Club, a picturesque and laid back group of fairways with 9 holes that wind their way along Gull River.

The Blairhampton Golf Club is also located just 15 minutes north of Minden Lake, complete with 18 holes over the backdrop of the beautiful Haliburton Highlands and a licensed club house for pre or post tee time meals.

  • Auntie Cukoo’s Kitchen
