About Us
The first cottages on Tea Lake were built in the 1930s, as soon as government surveys were completed and building lots were offered for sale. The informal alliances of property owners that formed in the early years developed into a community over time and, in 1951, an association of cottagers was formed.
The organization was incorporated in 1964 and later integrated the road committees that had developed on each of the access roads to ensure all owners had safe access to their properties.
Through the years the Tea Lake Property Owners Association has presented a collective voice to all levels of government on matters affecting their common interests and rights, collaborated with other associations as a member of FOCA, acted as steward for environmental and health issues associated with the lake, and organized social events for the enjoyment of the property owners
Tea Lake is a small body of water located off the Trent-Severn Waterway just before the Big Chute Marine railway on the upper side of the river (Click here to view image of lake). It is shaped like the letter "T" but it is also the colour of tea and can be seen on some maps as Tea Lake or T-Lake. Boat access to Tea Lake is limited as we are connected to the Severn river by a small, shallow creek and also have a road bridge that passes over the creek that presents some height restrictions.
The Trent-Severn Waterway is a 386-kilometre-long canal route connecting Lake Ontario at Trenton to Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, at Port Severn. Its major natural waterways include the Trent River, Otonabee River, Kawartha Lakes, Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching and Severn River. This provides property owners of Tea Lake with a small quiet lake that has access to many great boating destinations.
We encourage all members to get involved with the beautiful Tea Lake community and surrounding areas.
Please consider familiarizing yourself with our Good Neighbour Policy.
If you would like to become involved in a committee or become a director on the board, please feel free to contact us.
