we had a bear show up on starrs island on July 9. It was by our deck. I then spotted it again on July 17 swimming from starrs to tomahawk. Is a horn and bear spray enough to protect my family?
Someone we know in Charlies Channel had a bear break into their basement around July 11th. He was spotted three more times around the cottage.
Hi Andy
Friends of ours saw a bear the same size swim from the end of Mermaid Island towards Deer Island on July 14.Sounds like he makes he way around following the sent of food. Hope he never returns our way.
Hi Jennifer and Andy,
We also have had numerous bear sightings in Lover’s Bay on Little Beausoleil. The latest was on Saturday night. I had just finished cooking salmon on the Bar-B-Que, and there he was, right out front!!! Did not seem aggressive and slowly wandered off. He has torn down our neighbours birdfeeders and hummingbird feeders. The dogs have treed it a few times. As soon as he left, our oldest daughter walked down the stairs only to encounter a rattle snake!!! On the weekend our neighbour had heard about a cottage being broken into by the bear, we thought on Lt.Dog Channel, but maybe that was you Jennifer!!! What a scary thing, I glad everyone is ok.
On July 12 at our family cottage on Mermaid Island across from the Lakeside Grill a bear came in the cottage through a open window at 2pm after a bag of garbage in a container. Our eleven year old daughter opened the door to the cottage to get a drink and saw it sitting on the kitchen floor. The OPP and Ministry were called after my husband scared it out and he climbed back out the window. He then sat under the cottage for a while when waiting for another OPP to come with a stronger gun but he took off behind the cottage. The OPP waited for over one hour and he did not reappear. They left and went in the cottage to clean up and her reappeared looking in the windows once again we called the OPP and stayed at a far distance while the bear looked around looking for a way of getting in. The OPP and ministry tired again to destroy the bear but the could not find him. He has not been seen by us since then. It was a very scary experience for our family and I hope we do not have to go through again so we as cottager need to do our part to keep them away by taking our garbage to the collection bins nightly, no bird feeders, not feeding them in any way and keeping your windows shut when you can not see them. This bear is a male around 2yrs old and weighs around 90-100lbs. Would like to hear if anyone else has any bear stories. To the cottagers on Mermaid stay alert and be prepared for any encounters. This is our first time in over 30yrs.
hey jennifer, we had a bear at our back door shed on July 3rd in the evening. Although he was not as aggressive as yours sounds like the same size bear. We are off deer island channel. He took a look at me, I made some noise and he retreated and we havent seen him since…knock on wood.
My family encoutered a bear on Roberts’ Island this past week. It went to several cottages along the shore before going away. I’m going up this weekend and hope he is long gone!
I also have a cottage on roberts, right across from picnic. There has been a bear around since early spring. I personally have not seen it, but many neighbours have. I was up last weekend and did find fresh scat right behind my place.
Does anyone know where to get minnows for fishing in honey harbour?
Thanks in advance.
I also saw a black bear today in Honeymoon Bay, at Beausoleil Island today (July 17, 2011) *Keep your eyes open*
Huronia bait and tackle has minnows. It is about 1 km east of the 400 on highway 12. There is no place right in Honey Harbour that has them. There # is 705-538-2573.
Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone had a floating dock for sale that we might be able to purchase or come and pick up if unwanted. We are hoping to find something that is 8 foot wide by whatever length so that we may extend our current dock. Please feel free to email me at dvlong@me.com We are located on portage island near Franceville.
Does anyone know how the new HDTV is going affect our night time tv watching. As I never watch it during the day better to be outside. Anyways we have trouble now getting tv channels on the north end of deer island. Just wondering if anyone has any luck with over the air tv in HD.
Yes, Picnic Island has been sold
Hello Guys,
We have lost a canoe in the Honey Harbour area. We are not sure if it blew away during a recent storm or if it was stolen. Its a Bright Yellow Swift Canoe “muskoka” model. We have the serial number so if anyone finds it or knows where it is we can easily identify. Let me know if have seen it. My kids are eagar to get it back. Thanks Andy
I saw a yellow canoe pulled on shore at the Tomahawk channel – it seemed odd as there isn’t a cottage directly nearby and there didn’t seem to be campers nearby – it could be yours.
Thanks Pia, More than likely it is ours. Unfortnately I am not back up until Wednesday this week. Hopefully it is still there. thanks andy
Andy,
On July 3 we saw the dock onshore in Tomahawk Channel however the canoe is MIA. We will keep an eye out.
Greg
Hi Greg, Yes the canoe was on-top of the docks and we have found those. Unfortunately someone took the canoe…..so where as it was first a lost canoe is now a stolen canoe. Again if anybody see’s the canoe it is a bright yellow, Swift Canoe “Muskoka” Model. We do have the serial number to identify if need be. Thanks to All. Andy
Hi Andy, you might want to check with the police. If they found it abandonned it could be in their impound.
thanks Bernard never thought of that. Will check it out. regards,

Marina Operators – As you are probably aware, there will be a Trade Show this weekend in Honey Harbour. As we have limited water spots for visitors, it is hoped that people will return to their own Marina and walk down or drive over to Village Marina. Also, I need your help to spread the word one final time before the Show. If you do not have a poster, please give us a call. If you have your customers on an email list, I ask if you could forward the following message to them before the weekend. Thank you for your support.

It has booths with local businesses and services to meet most of your needs as a cottager.
Do you have a problems with Bears – meet the Bear specialist from the Ministry of Natural Resources. Meet members of our new Wellness Centre. Did you know that we have four caterers in this area? We have an arborist, Kimpex display and the OPP boat to name a few of the exhibitors.
