Welcome to Big Island Cove, where the waters are clear and the fish are plenty. The sights and sounds of nature will surround you during your stay, where there are over 350 species of birds and their varied songs, deer scampering through the forest and venturing to the lakeside for a drink of water, as well as otters and beavers splashing and swimming about in the lake. Lac Des Isles is also the home to many loons, where you will here their beautiful song, ‘the call of the loons’. This is truly nature at its best; peaceful, serene, and idyllic.
Big Island Cove has been in operation since the 1950’s. There are only 14 cabins and 27 campsites in this family-oriented resort, making it the perfect place to come and unwind without the usual crowds of many other holiday spots. Whether you’re after catching that record breaking fish or taking a dip in the crystalline water, strolling along the sandy beaches or roasting marshmallows by the fire, there really is something for everyone at Big Island Cove.
