One of our most popular guided excursions is our “history” tour. If you wish to spend a pleasant morning or afternoon cruising the French River, please ask us and we can arrange this for you.
History Tour – Join us on the “Birkin,” our lodge boat, in comfort and safety, for a fascinating look at the French River. Travel to a beaver dam and learn things you never knew, travel to Five Finger Rapids and visit a natural beauty spot. A short walk is involved, learn about an Ojibwa First Nation and cruise back to Lodge at Pine Cove along the route the fur traders and explorers travelled. You will return with a better appreciation of Canada’s history.
We are allowed a maximum of 12 persons plus crew, on the “Birkin” at one time.
For a non-Canadian it was an awesome experience. Beautiful cabins in the woods (need to walk a bit to reach them right!), amazing views, nicely arranged, and tonnes of attractions: hiking, kayaking, swimming… Very nice staff too.

The naturalist in me was delighted with the sight of, a varying (snowshoe) hare leaping through the bush, ruffed grouse strutting and the sound of their drumming, wood frogs all along pond sides, an early painted turtle hauled out on a log, and bear paw-prints in the sand.

We spent our time kayaking, canoeing, hiking, playing cards, Pool, fishing, and for me…enjoying wine on our porch at sunset 🙂

Activities run to swimming, hiking, boating, water taxi trips to great destinations on the French River, and all manner of quiet and personal activities. How about soaking in a large copper bathtub with a view of the water…….
