The Rama portion of Ramara is the northern half, stretching from Lake Couchiching eastward to Sebright. Besides the waterfront properties on Lake Couchiching there are some smaller lakes and rivers including Lake St. John and Lake Dalrymple (there's actually two Lake Dalrymples, the northern one is just outside Ramara's eastern boundary).

The southern portion of Ramara (formerly Mara) includes Lagoon City which has man-made canals to give people more access to water at an affordable price and Bayshore Village, a modern development, popular with retirees, that has shared waterfront facilities.

Other communities in Ramara include Brechin, Atherley, Mnjikining (or Rama) First Nation and parts of Washago.
