On site, the operation is comprised of a sawmill, planning mill, shipping department, chopping and packaging department, concentration yard and main office. When running at full capacity, Carson Lake Lumber directly employs about 50 residents of the Ottawa Valley. Carson Lake Lumber manufactures primarily eastern white pine and red pine lumber, offering all standard patterns and grades, including flooring and wall panelling. Lumber is planed, unfinished and graded. A small quantity of rough spruce lumber is also available in limited sizes. While some lumber is kept in stock, Carson Lake Lumber specializes in process and planning to customer specifications. They also do custom milling of softwood if customers bring in wood from their own properties. Forest sustainability is a top priority at Carson Lake Lumber.
