Lake Simcoe is located in southern Ontario and is one of the largest freshwater lakes that freezes over completely in the winter. Ice fishing season booms on this lake every winter. Once the ice is safe fishermen of all ages begin to take to the lake hoping to land a huge Rainbow Trout or tasty Whitefish that melts in your mouth. The lake is bordered by Simcoe County, Durham Region, and York Region. The city of Barrie is located on Kempenfelt Bay, and Orillia is located at the entrance to Lake Couchiching. The watershed draining into the lake contains a population of roughly half a million people, including the northern portion of the Greater Toronto Area. Lake Simcoe contains smaller residential towns and communities, including Keswick on Cook's Bay, Sutton, Jackson's Point, Pefferlaw and Udora among others.
The lake measures approx. 30 km (19 mi) long and 25 km (16 mi) wide. The thumb forms Kempenfelt Bay on the west, the wrist Lake Couchiching to the north, and the extended finger is Cook's Bay on the south. From the east, the Talbot River part of the Trent-Severn Waterway is the most important river draining into Lake Simcoe, connecting the lake with the Kawartha lakes system and Lake Ontario. From its connection to Lake Couchiching the Severn River is the only drainage from the lake to Georgian Bay. The canal locks of the Trent-Severn Waterway make this connection navigable.
