Young and old alike enjoy activities such as canoeing, fishing, swimming, birding, tennis, lodge socials, walking the island's trails, casual family-style meals and evening campfires with marshmallow roasts.

Visiting Families

Some come to visit Keewaydin.
Families with sons at Keewaydin or daughters at Songadeewin, the canoe-trip camps at the south end of the island, can spend time with their children between trips. Families are welcome at Keewaydin and Songadeewin events.

Swimming in Lake Temagami

Some just like to be out on the water.
We will be glad to lease you a fine wood canvas canoe or a boat and motor. Slip silently from one world to another as each unfolds beyond a new point of land. Savor the taste of a family picnic, made by our kitchen or enjoy a lunch cooked over the fire, Keewaydin style. Fish Lake Temagami or other lakes nearby, where you can catch walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike and lake trout.

Canoe Trip out of Ojibway

Some come to leave again.
The Temagami Country offers some of the finest canoe tripping in the world. We outfit families and groups with canoes, tents, food — everything you need for what may be the most memorable camping of your life. Just bring your sleeping bag and personal gear ... we'll provide the rest.

Sunset on the Lake

And some come to just sit...
... on a porch, in a deck chair or on a sunny rock by the lake. Lie out under the stars and let the aurora borealis dance across the sky over head. There are wildflowers to be seen, trees to be identified and countless birds to be watched, including a large population of nesting warblers. It's amazing how busy you can be ... doing absolutely nothing at all.

Note: There is no designated swimming area, and lifeguard services are not provided. Children must have parental supervision and no one should ever swim alone. Canoes and motorboats are available for rent. Personal canoe trip outfitting is available.
