In July and early August, Doctor’s Island is a favourite blueberry-picking spot, but there is a lot more to do on this large island.
Explore the forest, warm yourself on the enormous granite rocks or sit on a cliff and watch the world go by. A bald eagle nests not far from Doctor’s Island. See if you can tell the difference between this enormous bird and the smaller osprey that may also soar overhead. You have several gourmet picnic lunch menus to choose from. So after a swim and having picked a handful of blueberries, it’s time to lay out your blanket and discover what’s inside your picnic hamper.
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…….
