Adventure travel in Ontario Canada is a natural experience. Adventure getaways are around every lake (250,000 Ontario Lakes) or trail. Ontario is one of the most diverse provinces for an adventure vacation be it spring, summer, winter or fall– from “wilderness adventure” to “soft outdoor adventure”. The best travel adventure is north of Toronto, where the population of wildlife species is more significant, and the natural setting more dramatic. Lake Superior to James Bay, Algonquin Area, or Georgian Bay all offers exceptional natural individual or family travel adventures.

Our Harvest dining room table, lit by candle light and kerosene lanterns, provides an intimate warm environment to feast on delicious homemade meals and talk about the days adventure.
3 day trips are all inclusive of meals and a guided program packed with unique excursions, including sunrise canoe excursions and our legendary bonfire dinners with local fish and vegetables cooked over an open fire.. Dip your paddle in the fresh water, hike the less traveled trails, listen to the uninterrupted sounds of Algonquin, and relax in the comfort of this unique lodge.
