The French does have a huge diversity of wildlife; moose, black bear, lynx, timber wolf, fisher, mink, beaver, otters, bald eagles, osprey, several turtle varieties and many other species.
The trick however is to know where, when and how to look for them. Mike knows how. He gets up early before the sun has risen, heads out in his kayak and year after year gets incredible photographs. Please don’t come to the lodge and expect big mammals to appear for you – sometimes they do but usually you have to find them. It takes a lot of patience.
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…….
