Labour Day weekend took us to The Big Chute. On the Friday night, we stayed in Ojibway Bay Marina (marinas.com/view/marina/409). This was our first time there (by boat) and both my wife and I were immediately struck by what a nice, neat , clean and welcoming place this is!
Unfortunately, we had been becoming more and more put off by our own 'home port' marina and this was the complete opposite in every way. Not only was it impeccably manicured, the transient slip we had for the night backed onto a park like strip of land roughly 200' deep that itself backed onto the inviting waters of Lake Couchiching. As one of the year around boaters there said, it was like having a water front cottage.View Larger Map
These folks offer both open and covered slips, but by the looks of things, they seemed to be pretty much fully booked. That was more than likely the case, as one of the larger marinas on Lake Simcoe - Big Bay Pint Marina - had completely shut down at the end of the 2006 season and the boaters there were forced to seek other accommodations. As a result, most marinas are operating at capacity.For sure, Ojibway Bay Marina is going to added to our list of 'must visit' locations for next year's boating season. As it's only about a mile or so from Casino Rama, we might try to time one of our future visits to one of the many concerts at the casino . . .
