Location:

The Lodge at Pine Cove and the French River Outfitters are located near the small community of Noelville on the French River, a 105-km (66-mile) heritage waterway Provincial Park that winds its way through a maze of channels and bays from lake Nipissing to Georgian Bay (Lake Huron). For many centuries this river was a major aboriginal trade route. When the Europeans arrived, they used the French River to gain access to the Great Lakes and Canada's and America's interior. French explorer Samuel de Champlain paddled it in 1615. During Canada's fur trade era, the river could be a swift one-day to 1.5-day downriver run for the famous voyageurs.

The Lodge at Pine Cove is a spectacular 6,500 sq. ft. lodge that was completely renovated and rebuilt in 2001-2003. Set in a very private cove that is a swimmers' paradise, the new Lodge at Pine Cove features soaring cathedral ceilings, three stone fireplaces, a library, a lounge overlooking Wolseley Bay, a bar and fine dining rooms. Lodge accommodation is in newly renovated log and cedar-sided cottages that all have screened porches with water views and privacy.
Phase 2 of the refurbishment starts in 2003 and encompasses cottages that are very remote from one another; guests will have a choice of taking a boat or hiking to these cottages. The Lodge at Pine Cove will accommodate 120-plus guests when fully completed.
