South River Resort

Description

Welcome to your home away from home!
 
We offer our guests friendly, courteous service and clean, comfortable and affordable accommodations that are modern, yet still maintain a rustic feel.

We are located in a peaceful and natural setting, amid towering pines, situated on a peninsula overlooking the South River, which empties into the famous Lake Nipissing, a short distance downstream.
   
Our rental boats are strong and extremely fishable, but best of all, they are up to date.  Our docking facilities on Beatty Creek are well lit, have shore power and are sheltered from wind, waves and boat traffic.

Who can think of Lake Nipissing without thinking of fishing? The lake is prized for its catches of walleye, monster pike, giant musky, scrappy bass and many other sought after species.  The fishing opportunities are indeed limitless here with seemingly endless water to explore.  We're not just about fishing, peruse some of the other activities that we have to offer - there's something for everyone!
 
Join us for a dream vacation this coming season, and discover why family, friends,fishing and fun are the main reasons we've been welcoming Canadians and Americans since 1939.

Lake Nipissing is a bonofide fish-producing factory. Where else can you consistently catch trophy size walleye, muskie, northern pike, large and smallmouth bass and panfish - all within ... morea short boat ride to the welcoming sight of the dock? Our own river is a major spawning ground for most species, so you can be certain that finding fish to tangle with will never be a problem.

Come and try the sheltered bays of Lake Nipissing, including Fish Bay, Hunter's Bay and Gull Islands, all found less than thirty minutes by boat from the resort. If the big lake gets overly rough, rest assured that the miles of shoreline found in the South River will offer you excellent fishing opportunities, as well as calm and restful waterways. 

Lake Nipissing is the fifth largest lake in Ontario with a surface area of 873.3 square kilometres or 337.2 square miles. It has many islands, shoals and sand bars. 
Our rental boats come equipped with the latest electronics including GPS with Navionics Hotmaps, presenting the angler with a detailed view of the lake's bottom, aiding with navigation and locating fish holding structure with ease. 

Lake Nipissing is home to over 40 species of fish but most anglers target the following:

Walleye

Muskie

Northern Pike

Smallmouth Bass

Largemouth Bass

Other species of note include jumbo perch in the 10 to 12 inch range and white bass. Both species can be caught in great numbers with little difficulty creating the perfect opportunity to introduce the sport of fishing to a child.

Whatever time of year you plan on paying us a visit or species you pursue, we are always happy to show you how, where and when to make your Lake Nipissing fishing experience a great one!

Filleting your catch will be a breeze when using the comfort of our screened-in and well-lit fish cleaning station. We provide our guests with two sinks, running water, a "waste freezer" and optional freezer services. It doesn't come much better than that.

On site guide services are available.

Comfort and convenience are what makes for a pleasant stay at a resort, and when designing our cottages, we certainly kept this in mind. Our eight cottages offer a semi-private atmosphere, ... moresheltered from the prevailing winds and all offering a view of the river. Take your pick of a two or three bedroom, with enough space in the largest cottage to accommodate upwards of 8 people comfortably. Our cottages are wheelchair accessible. We pride ourselves on attention to detail, because for one week of the year, this will become your home away from home.

Everything and the Kitchen Sink…

Our modern cottages offer full conveniences to our guests, including such things as 3 or 4 piece bathrooms, a full kitchen stocked with dishes, pots, pans and cutlery, new appliances, as well as a toaster and coffee maker. We provide all pillows and linens but our guests must supply their own blankets/comforters and towels.

Preparing meals has never been easier, especially when a private deck, propane BBQ and patio set is provided for each of the eight cottages. Although our lodge is strictly housekeeping there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to mingle and get acquainted with the other guests around a campfire, the pool, the recreation hall or any of the other common areas.

If there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please feel free to ask. Chances are we have just the item you might be searching for.
