More than 10,000 years ago, the last receding ice age scoured and shaped the landscape of the Haliburton Highlands. Stranded in a few of its lakes was a unique lake trout strain that evolved with special characteristics. Known as the “Haliburton Gold”, it has been confirmed scientifically to be genetically distinct and, with its smaller, torpedo-shaped body, it even looks different than other lake trout stocks. It is found only in Redstone and 3 other lakes, and has been designated as a heritage species. Redstone’s Lake Trout – Unique prehistoric relic still going strong (pdf 278 kb)
With this prehistoric legacy bequeathed to us, we the residents of this truly magnificent lake are proud to be the beneficiaries of its pristine beauty. There are no marinas, resorts, or boathouses to spoil the densely-treed shoreline, and the vast majority of the Redstone community want to maintain our lake’s environment in its natural state as much as possible. We at RLCA take our Lake Stewardship very seriously. Redstone Lake Description by Shal Gewurtz, President, RLCA (pdf-410 kb).
