Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Shield's Land O' Lakes region, Bayview Cottage Resort is situated on Earl's Bay at the sandy shores of Big Gull Lake in Eastern Ontario. Each year its rugged beauty and unspoiled waters attract visitors from Ontario, Quebec and USA to the sport fishing, camping, hiking, canoeing, boating and bird watching. Abundant sport fishing includes the feisty northern pik
e, walleye (pickerel), large and small mouth bass, salmon and muskie---an angler's dream. Spectacular fall foliage attracts avid photographers and artists. Bird watchers' binoculars seek out loons, ducks, herons, hawks, vultures, osprey and wild turkey. Outdoor enthusiasts find the many trails winding through scenic vistas of untouched wilderness. Nearby are four pristine Provincial Parks (Bon Echo, Silver Lake, Sharbot Lake and Frontenac) and thousands of unspoiled acres of trails, wildlife, and scenic views. For the hardy adventurer there is back country backpacking, kayaking, camping, and a spectacular 65 km canoe route through nine lakes in the Canadian Shield of Eastern Ontario. Anglers enjoy the solitude and stillness broken only by the water gently lapping the boat's edge. At night, colorful sunsets are the backdrop for the plaintive cry of the loon heard across the quiet lake.
