Where We're Located

   

 

Kagawong  "where mists rise from the falling water" 
is the Ojibwe name for this North Channel community.

In the coolness of the early morning, mists rising over the tree tops mark the path of the Kagawong River as it cascades over Bridal Veil Falls and winds its way into the North Channel of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada.

To find the historic village of Kagawong, leave Hwy. 540 where the road turns sharply at the Billings Co. Store and follow the nineteenth century street lamps that provide appropriate entry.

The main street of the village, in the business section below the hill, presents a well-preserved picture of  turn-of-the-century architecture.  A lighthouse, hotel, mill and many century-old homes are reminders of Kagawong's early days as a timber and fishing center.

Fishing continues to be an important activity in Kagawong.  Splake, small mouth bass, northern pike, salmon, perch and whitefish make Kagawong a fisherman's paradise.  Kagawong is also famous for its bountiful early spring smelt run.

 

Kagawong offers restaurants, gift shops, an antique store, general store, bed and breakfasts, boat charters, a marina, public beach, and tennis court.  Every Saturday afternoon during the summer there is a farmers' market in the open building beside the tennis court.
T
he Home of 'The Three Buoys Ice Cream Parlor' featuring Farquhar's hand-dipped ice cream.  A necessary stop for the boater and tourist visiting the hamlet of Kagawong.
 
The road out of Kagawong toward Maple Point affords breathtaking views of the North Channel and the distant LaCloche mountains. 
There are interesting roads for cyclists to explore (bicycles are available to rent) and a hiking trail at Bridal Veil Falls.  Canoes, sailboards and kayaks can also be rented at a spot on the Kagawong River above the falls.
