Family Activities at Garden Island Lodge
Garden Island Lodge can be a great place for the whole family. Even though our main focus is always going to be fishing, our summer months bring beautiful warm weather and a host of other enjoyable activities that the entire family can enjoy together. During your stay be sure to discuss your family activity plans with one of our staff. They may be very helpful with suggestions and ideas on how to get the most out of your experience. Here are some of our guests favorite activities!
Shore Lunch
Take your family to enjoy a spectacular shore lunch. We'll load everything into your boat to cook your fish filets. Experience one of the finest memories together wild Canada has to offer!
Maple Mountain
For those who want to burn off some energy, there is a trail to the top of Maple Mountain, which is the second highest peak in Ontario. From the top of the mountain are spectacular views of the northland.
Berry Picking
Take a boat ride to one of several great spots for picking big plump wild blueberries and then bring them back for our chef to make a scrumptious pie or cobbler.
Canoe Trip
Grab one of our canoes or paddleboats and enjoy the sights of Lady Evelyn Lake or grab a packed lunch and portage the canoes to other lakes in the area.
Game Night
We keep games, puzzles and cards in the lodge to help entertain folks when the fishing conditions and weather are difficult.
Swimming
There are lots of sandy beaches on the lake to have a family picnic or go swimming. We also have a swimming raft right at the lodge for those who just want to take a quick dip or get a tan.
Campfire
Join in on the fun Garden Island Lodge stories around an evening campfire with our other guests. You never know when someone might give away tips on a good fishing spot!
Go Exploring
Take a hike to one of the many small lakes all around the edges of Lady Evelyn Lake or find the prefect place to take incredible wildlife pictures.
