Five Island Lake Waterfront
A residential lake community west of Halifax — year-round lakefront living within commuting distance of the city, off the St. Margaret's Bay road.
Overview
A Halifax-area lake
Five Island Lake is a residential and cottage lake west of Halifax, along the corridor toward Tantallon and St. Margaret's Bay. It's one of a string of lakes that make this part of the Halifax Regional Municipality popular with families wanting water without leaving the commuter belt.
Wooded shoreline, small islands and quiet bays give it a cottage feel within a short drive of the city.

Year-round lake living
The lake supports swimming, paddling and fishing, and many homes here are full year-round residences rather than seasonal cottages.
Waterfront ranges from lakefront houses to water-access properties, prized for combining lake living with an easy Halifax commute.
