https://www.merridaleatthelake.ca/ Now operated by Merridale Cidery and called Merridale at the Lake. Cozy and country with a great view of the lake and a tasty casual menu. Hit the night right and there could even be live music. Watch the hours though - they close early-ish.

Drinks & Nightlife

Burgers are really good. Atmosphere country kitsch, and a little blue collar. Not Kim's cup of tea, but really, the burgers are good!

Parks, Lakes, Beaches and Trails

Best swimming beach and grassy open space for outdoor relaxing, lounging, and fun. Great for summer picnics and throwing a frizbee. Lifeguard not on duty. Swim at your own risk.
