mistaredone Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm looking for a family resort for myself, the wife and our 2 year old on a body of water that has muskies. I was thinking Gbay 30,000 islands area but I'm open to any sugestions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow slayer Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I would suggest checking out the west arm of nipissing or the french river area(hartley bay).Lots of lodges to choose from and all are family friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I stayed at Pleasant Cove Resort a few years ago. Was a nice place. Outdoor pool and a decent sized beach. They have a couple of nice cottages right on the beach too, the others are up top on a cliff and have great views. As for fishing, well, never caught a musky, but there are some really prime looking spots in the vicinity. His rental boats aren't anything special, but never had any issues (fish finder costs extra). The one thing I hated was the boat traffic. I most likely will never go back to that body of water in the summer ever again. It's way too busy for me. Although, I always wanted to head back in the fall for some musky fishing. Rice lake has several nice family resorts, but I don't think the musky fishing is too spectacular - but, I never actually targeted them here. Although, I have seen some real beasts caught over the years. In my experience, the Pigeon tri-lakes are much better for fishing, but the resorts I stayed at aren't as good for families IMO - only stayed at a few though, so maybe someone else has a suggestion. French river might also be a good spot. My buddy goes musky fishing there every year. However, not too sure about family resorts as I only stayed at what I would call a "fishing resort". Good luck!

Jer Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 If you don't mind the Kawarthas, Beachwood Resort is nice on Lower Buckhorn, should have everything you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 A number of years back when our boys were small we were looking for the same thing. We found Scotsman Point Resort on Upper Buckhorn. Benn going there every since. However, the boys are all grown up now, so we may have to rethink our future plans. Scotsman have a daily kind program to keep the kids busy during the week while you are out search for muskie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
