Yes, you do require a fishing license to fish at our properties. Individuals under the age of 18, or over the age of 65 do not require a license. You may also decide to visit us during Ontario’s Family Fishing Week which is a license-free week or get a temporary license from Canadian Tire or Bass Pro Shop.

We have fishing boats available for rent at most of our properties. Be sure to inquire when you make your reservation. Our fishing boats are 12′ aluminum boats with a 9.9HP motor – life jackets are provided! You do not need a boating license, unless you are a guest at Golden Beach Resort (if fishing, a fishing license is required) however, we do require that you complete a boater’s safety checklist and keep it with you while you are on the boat – this will act as your license should you need it. Before you go out on the water, one of our helpful team members will give you a detailed overview of how to operate the boat.
