Harrington Lake Harrington Lake Harrington Lake () is the name of the summer residence and all-season retreat of the Prime Minister of Canada, and also the name of the land which surrounds it. The property is located near Meech Lake—where the Meech Lake Accord was negotiated in 1987—approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Ottawa, in Gatineau Park, amidst the Gatineau Hills in Quebec. The property is not open to the public, but the Mackenzie King Estate, the retreat of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King at Kingsmere, is a tourist attraction located 2 kilometres south in the park. Since 1986, the 5.4-hectare (13-acre)
Harrington Park (homestead) of the "Harrington Park" estate. The Court ruled that the remnant parts of the estate be divided between Alexander and John Campbell. The remaining portion (with the homestead on it) was sold at auction to the highest bidder, Sydney leather dealer James Rofe for ₤1,775, together with the under lease. The enforced sale ended the Campbell's interest in "Harrington Park". It appears that Rofe's interest was purely speculative for he sold the diminished Harrington Park to Abraham Davy in 1853. When Abraham Davy purchased "Harrington Park" in 1853, the property still had a significant amount of open forest and bushland.
