Scugog River and Lake
Canning Lake (Minden)
Some say even the Grand River, but I've never seen anything.

Although it's been an awfully long time, I know there were muskie in Muskrat when I was younger (15 years ago)...not so sure about now though.
There are supposed to be some pretty large sturgeon too...
Not much help I know... *L*

I know Buckhorn has muskies, and of course, Nippissing.
Does Elephant Lake harbor them as well?

If there are Tigers there has to be Muskies as a tiger is Musky/Pike Cross.
There are a ton of good Musky Lakes within 4 hours of Ottawa. St. Lawrence River is alway a potential record holder. Then the Kawartha Lakes that haven't been mentioned; Balsam, Pidgeon, Stoney. Stocco Lake and Moira Lake/River near Tweed. This are some that come to mind!

The Head Pond definitely has them, so I'm assuming that the Madawaska R has them too - at least the lower sections near the Ottawa.

Cameron Lake at Fenelon Falls has a lot of musky, just not much size to them. Not that you can't get big ones, it's just more smaller ones. Give it a shot.. anywhere there's weeds.

Muskrat lake is a great lake to fish on. I use to camp there years back and people always caught big fish. It also has been rumoured that there is BIG sturgeons in that lake.
The Muskrat river produces a lot of pike, as well as snake river. There's great weedlines too to troll or cast for muskie but I don't recall a lot of repots about Muskies there... but I guess you should ask the locals.
I believe this website is also where the last spring trip was, for FH.

Some great musky lakes for day trips in the Kawartha's are Lower Buckhorn, Lovesick, Chemung, Scugog and Pigeon lakes. For a weekend or longer trip you may want to try Stoney and Upper Buckhorn lakes.
Here's a helpful link or two:
