Marina FAQs …<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
\nWe have plenty of parking onsite, please come to the marina office for a parking pass. <\/span>No vehicles are allowed in the parking area without a parking pass. <\/span>Parking is $9 per day, we don’t charge by the night so stay overnight and as long as you are gone by 9am the next day, there is no second day charge.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
\nYes, we buy maps from the Park and they are available in the Marina Store. <\/span>Maps have detailed paddling routes as well as all campsites listed. <\/span>Maps are $10 + HST.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
\nWe sell worms but only during fishing season.<\/li>\n
\nWe do not sell fishing licenses. Check with Canadian Tire in Bancroft or MNR.<\/li>\n
\nA lot. Moose, deer, beaver, bear, wolf, coyote, mink and of course we also have raccoon, they are not limited to just the city. Be aware that most of these animals are scared of you so you will be lucky to get a glimpse of one during your your visit but they are definitely there. Ensure that your food is hung and not lying around your campsite for safety. In addition to these animals, you will see ducks, loons, osprey and heron. Not an animal, more of a pest, mosquitoes, black flies and deer flies are everywhere in cottage country. If you forget to bring bug spray – we usually sell it – you’ll need it! These critters love it when the tourists arrive!<\/li>\n
\nLarge mouth bass, small mouth bass, pickerel, lake trout and splake.<\/li>\n
\n10 km from our lakeside location. You will find a gas station, food store (currently closed), hardware store and lcbo. A restaurant called the Swiss Bear is on hwy 28 just past the turnoff that leads to Apsley.<\/li>\n
\nA restaurant called the Swiss Bear is on hwy 28 just past the turnoff that leads to Apsley. Fantastic schnitzel and pasteries.<\/li>\n
\nNo. Also note that while it is beautiful here, for security reasons, we only allow parking for guests of cottagers and those conducting business with the marina (restaurant guests, paddlers renting a canoe, boat sales etc). If you are looking for hiking trails, we suggest you go to either Warsaw Caves Park or Silent Lake Provincial Park.<\/li>\n

\n
\nReservations can be made on our website by clicking on the ‘rental’ menu. Reservations are not required however, if you come here and all boats are already reserved, you might be disappointed. If we do have availability, you are good to go. Canoes are often booked months in advance for the bumper weeks of long weekends and in general, we are sold out for July and August though sometimes they can be booked as close as a few days before the desired date.<\/li>\n
\nNo, we do not provide training on how to paddle. We simply rent the boats as you would when you rent skiis or a car.\u200bIf you have never paddled before, we strongly suggest taking a course prior to the rental. If we observe what we feel to be unsafe skills, we reserve the right to cancel the rental and no refund will be provided.<\/li>\n
\nUse of paddles, PFDs and safety kits are included with all rentals.<\/li>\n
\nWe do NOT have kevlar boats. Kevlar is very ‘damagable’ and while it is lighter (60 ish lbs) than a traditional fibreglass or polyethelene canoe (75 ish lbs), this terrain is very rocky and risk of damage is very high. This isn’t good for you as it could mean that you leave without getting your damage deposit back and for the rental facility, it isn’t good as it will put that boat out of commission until repaired. Kevlar is also much more expensive meaning that the daily rental rate would be significantly more.<\/li>\n
\nOur canoes are for two people (or one). We do not allow three people in one canoe.<\/li>\n
\nWe do not deliver canoes. If you are starting out from access point 5, you could very easily start out from the marina instead. Rather than shuffling back\/forth with your vehicle\/gear, come directly here, check in\/complete paperwork, park, load the canoe and launch. Easy peasy. The canoes are located 10 ft from shore. The only difference being that there is a parking fee of $9\/day\/vehicle.<\/li>\n
\nNope. Normally we do have a water taxi, but for people not canoes and it’s for cottagers and their guests – that said – this service has been suspended due to COVID.\u00a0 Paddlers\/campers would have a canoe with them and the water taxi is not for people AND canoes. The water taxi also is limited to this lake only and is very much subject to weather and someone on staff with a Pleasure Craft Operator card being onsite.<\/li>\n
\nNo. The canoe must be checked in with a staff member during business hours and the return inspection will be done with you present. There is also a risk that equipment might not be found or could be stolen while it is still considered to be in your care.\u00a0 Please only book a canoe if you know you are able to return during our business hours. Also note that late returns will obligate staff to wait for your return and you will be charged a late return fee.<\/li>\n
\nNo. The washroom taps are not shaped to accommodate water bottles and we do not allow our staff to take customer water bottles to the restaurant kitchen for filling.\u200b\u00a0 We do have bottled water available for purchase in several sizes if you need water.<\/li>\n
\nWe are a private business and do not have public picnic facilities, we do have a restaurant onsite that may be open depending on your arrival and departure time but we do not allow outside food or drink in the designated restaurant space. The area where launching is done is a fluid area with much foot traffic and vehicle\/boat launching by our cottagers so after taking care of payment and paperwork, we ask that paddlers quickly launch and load their canoes. For security reasons, we allow visitors to wander to other areas of the property.<\/li>\n
\nIf heading toward Rathbun Lake, it will typically take about an hour of paddling to get to the first portage. This timing depends on several factors including your skill and weather conditions. We do not offer water taxis to the portage so it’s all you.<\/li>\n
\nRoof racks are not provided as part of the rental but we do sell packages in our store for approximately $45.\u00a0 For liability reasons, you must secure the canoe yourself.<\/li>\n
\nCanoe rentals begin at 9am on the date of the reservation and end at 4pm the day the canoe is due back. If it is a one day rental, it is due back by 4pm the same day. If it is a 2 day rental, you may pick up the canoe as early as 9am the day your rental starts and it must be returned by 4pm the next day. You have paid for that reservation day so take advantage of it and arrive as early as possible. If you are unable to arrive early, it’s ok, you can be confident that the canoe will be waiting for you as it is reserved in your name. Ensure you arrive no later than one hour before dusk, our policy is that we will not release a canoe after that time for safety reasons as there is a lot of motor boat activity on the lake at night and travelling on the lake in a canoe is not safe. If you want to return it earlier, you may but there are no refunds for early returns. We do not allow cancellations or refunds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMotor Boat Rental FAQs…<\/h3>\n
\n
\nReservation can be made online under the icon ‘Rentals’ on the menu bar. Reservations are not required however, if you come here and all boats are already reserved, you might be disappointed so best to reserve in advance. If we do have availability, you are good to go. We have many regular clients who book every year. Motor boats are are often booked months in advance for the bumper weeks of long weekends and in general, we are sold out for July and August though sometimes they can be booked as close as a few days before the desired date.<\/li>\n
\nNo, but we do sell Jet Skiis if you’d like one to keep.<\/li>\n
\nMotor boats are full of fuel at the time of rental however you are responsible for the cost of fuel used. You can either fill the boat before returning it or we can fill it for you here and we will bill you for the cost of the fuel. Note that boats MUST be filled with Premium ethanol free fuel. The price of regular or cheap fuel might be an enticing alternative but it can affect the performance of the boat and if you full the boat with lower grade fuel that causes problems that require an emergency visit from our mechanic, you will be charged for the emergency visit.<\/li>\n
\nMinimum age to rent a motor boat is 25.<\/li>\n
\nWe do not accept cancellations, all bookings are final. Please ensure your plans are firm at the time of reservation. Once the booking is complete, everyone else that might call inquiring about the boat will be turned away.<\/li>\n
\nMotor boat rentals begin at 9am on the first day of rental and end at 5pm on the final day of rental. Arrive as early as possible on the first day to fully benefit from your rental. If you have booked the boat for delivery, it will leave the marina at 9am and you have booked a pickup, it must be back at the marina by 5pm so will be picked up earlier to allow return time.<\/li>\n
\nWe do not allow pets on board as as there is a risk of damage to flooring and upholstery.<\/li>\n
\nTubes, waterskiis and wakeboards are available for purchase but are not included in the boat rental. We do not rent these items.<\/li>\n
\nAbsolutely. Call our office to inquire about pricing.<\/li>\n
\nSorry, if you have been boating that long, you must know what you are doing but we still require a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. While you can reserve a boat without it, if you arrive and are unable to produce one, we will not release the boat. You can do the test online through various websites, as long as you provide the temporary Card sent on completion of the test, you can rent the boat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
