Winter Aerial View
Home to a provincial fish sanctuary, Nogies Creek is one of the many beautiful watercourses in the Kawarthas. Named for Peter Nogee of Curve Lake who hunted and fished in the area, Nogies Creek winds through mixed forests from Bass Lake to Pigeon Lake. There is a boat launch about midway down, and a parking lot near the north bridge.
