Glen Echo - Nipissing

Howdy All

 

I'm planning my annual family trip up to Canada for the summer with the family (three kids ages 7,5 and 2.5). Was considering glen Echo. How is it as a family resort? Is it quite? How is the fishing? Never been to that part of Nipissing, are there sheltered areas to fish if it's too rough? Is there enough fish to keep the kids happy ( can be any fish species) Any other thoughts on the area, or resort? Thanks.

Hey Matt, Diane and I will be at Memquisit Aug 8-22, when are you guys coming up ??

Glen Echo is in the channel between Callander Bay and the Main lake which is a great location. If the lake it too rough you can almost always find somewhere in the bay that's out of the wind to fish. I have never stayed there but have visited and it's quite nice with decent cottages. Bayview Camp and Cottages is just a stone's throw away and it is also a very nice spot for a family vacation.

I haven't stayed there in the summer, but I did stay there for some ice fishing. The facilities were great and the people who ran it were awesome. Absolutely no complaints at all.

 

Hope you have a great time

 

Cheers

Memquisit has a nice beach Matt and it's directly in front of my cabin.

I have a friend who goes up several times a year with his son. He loves it. He does really well for pickerel drifting the weed edges and for pike in the weed beds. And rarely blown off the water.
