This attractive private island on the vast Ponhook Lake is available for rent. The lake is very popular among tourists and natives and is characterized by its many islands and very interesting scenic coastal areas. It reaches temperatures of up to 23 °C in summer and is therefore suited for all kinds of water sports. The island is covered by dense mixed forest and one could not imagine a more relaxing place to stay.

Swimming, canoeing, hiking or fishing. Kejimkujik National Park is not too far away. A boat, sailboard, kayak and some canoes are available on the island.

Best Time to Travel
Spring, summer and autumn are ideal seasons for touring, though if you wish to ski, winter or early spring are naturally the best times for this sport. Swimming and sunbathing are excellent in the summer months of July and August. Enjoy Indian Summer from late September to mid-October when you can experience the explosion of autumn colours, abundance of wildlife and orchestra of sounds.
