Lake Rosseau is located in Ontario. The lake is surrounded by many cottages some dating back to the late 1800s. The south end of the lake is in the Township of Muskoka Lakes, and the north end is in Seguin Township. Lake Rosseau is connected to Lake Joseph through the narrows at Port Sandfield and the Joseph River. The lake is also connected to Lake Muskoka by the Indian River and the lock system at Port Carling. The village of Rosseau is a charming hamlet at the northern tip of Lake Rossea and location of one of the original Ontario summer resorts which brought exposure to the area and its beauty. Pratts Point and Rosseau House were well known and although the hotel was destroyed long ago, the vista and scenery remain.
