Spring and Summer at Marrick's Landing

Spring in the Kawarthas is beautiful. Be here when the first buds appear on theCanoe trees and view stars like you've never seen in the city.   Fishing season opens and you can catch pickerel (walleye), bass, pan fish or muskie.  Our spring rates are discounted from our summer rates or you can take advantage of our Spring Mid-Week Special. Visit us Sunday to Thursday - reserve four or five nights and stay one night for free!

During the warmth of summer, you can swim at our sandy beach, play horseshoes, badminton, volleyball or walk to the Burleigh Falls locks. Every Monday evening we have a bon-fire for you to roast marshmallows and enjoy a song or two.  Enjoy our Surf Slide – a raft and slide in the swimming area. Or try your paddle out in our complementary canoes or kayak.  Exploring Lovesick Lake is fun in our paddleboat.

Through Canadian Outdoor Recreational Experiences (CORE), let us introduce you to the wonderful world of canoeing and/or kayaking. Take one of their lessons and you will learn:

  • All about your canoe or kayak and equipment 
  • Launching and landing canoes/kayaks 
  • Paddling strokes and maneuvers 
  • Lifts and carries 
  • Rescue techniques and safety
If golfing is your passion, we are close to several golf courses from which to choose. Enjoy family fun – swim, boat or fish – Lovesick Lake has it all. Or you can explore the area. Petroglyphs Provincial Park or Warsaw Caves are great places to hike. Take a cruise on Stoney Lake or the Lift Lock Cruise in Peterborough. Visit the Buckhorn Art Festival, Fiesta Buckhorn or Gallery on the Lake while vacationing here. There is no end to what you can do in the Kawarthas in the spring and summer!
