About Us
Formerly known as Whip-Poor-Will Lodge, Dollars Lake Island Resort is a small pine-covered island with small rustic cabins located near the town of Port Loring, district of Parry Sound.
Our Island retreat is located on Dollars Lake which is part of Northern Ontario's famous Pickerel River system which runs northwest through the Georgian Bay Forest Reserve. Dollars Lake is also part of the Pickerel and Wolf River canoe route.
This country is a maze of rivers and lakes which abound with pickerel, pike, walleye, bass, whitefish, crappie and pan fish. From the Dollars Lake dam to Port Loring, anglers have 43 miles of navigable water bordered by rugged shoreline that is mostly crown land. Popular angling spots are Stumpy, Noggard and Pontford Bays and the Wolf River.
Using live bait and jigging on a rocky shoal, trolling the shoreline or casting a crank bait along the edge of a weed bed in one of the many quiet bays will result in success.
Our Resort is accessible only by motorboat which we rent or you can bring your own. We also have a FREE shuttle service to and from the island if you do not have a boat.
You can enjoy a daily canoe trip, swimming, and abundant bird and wild life viewing. The scenery is stunning and absolutely breath taking. It is advisable when bringing children to bring a life preserver. This offers complete safety for them while out in a boat. It also saves a good deal of uneasiness for the parents when the children are playing around the water. It is also advised to bring water soled shoes as the rocks can be very slippery.
