There is a fair amount of boat traffic as this part of the river is a popular musky spot. At the bridge is a great pickerel spot. Heading upstream into the lake there are some shallow spots, but the channel is marked with buoys and large boats can pass. Downstream the river is fairly deep and has some of the best fishing spots.

Other things to note
Please note that we do lawn and pool maintenance during the weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and may be outside very briefly during your stay.

Fire Ban: Stirling-Rawdon-Tweed Fire Service has put a full burn ban in place until further notice due to very dry conditions.

No outdoor flames are allowed, including campfires, fire pits, fireworks, or burn barrels. Propane and natural gas BBQs are still fine to use for cooking.

By law, all guests must wear properly fitted life jackets when using the watercraft. We provide a selection of adult and child life jackets; however, sizes and fit cannot be guaranteed. Guests are responsible for ensuring they have life jackets that fit them properly. If the provided jackets do not fit, guests must bring their own.
