Perch Bay Resort

Why You'll Love It

Nestled beside the picturesque Darlington Bay, Perch Bay Resort is a laid-back fishing and hunting resort that features charming lakeside cabins, providing guests with a tranquil retreat amidst nature. Conveniently located just 1 kilometre downriver from the historic Norman Dam and a short 4 kilometres from the iconic Husky the Muskie sculpture in McLeod Park, the resort is an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike.

The rustic cabins are designed for comfort and practicality, each equipped with kitchenettes for hearty meal preparation and spacious dining and lounge areas perfect for relaxation after a day of adventures. Many cabins are enhanced with cozy fireplaces, creating a warm atmosphere for guests to unwind, while some also offer pull-out sofas for additional sleeping arrangements. In addition to the well-appointed accommodations, the resort boasts a variety of amenities to enhance the guest experience. 

The lodge event space is perfect for gatherings and celebrations. At the same time, dock rentals and boat and motor rentals allow for seamless access to the tranquil waters for fishing, kayaking, or leisurely boating. For those who prefer to stay on land, laundry facilities are available for convenience, and the bait and gift shop offers essential supplies and mementos to remember your stay.

Key Features

  • Cabin Rentals (Housekeeping): Nestled on the shores of the stunning Winnipeg River, our cozy, fully-equipped cabin rentals offer the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.
  • Walleye: Discover some of the best walleye fishing in Ontario on the scenic Winnipeg River, our guests catch this popular eating fish right in the bay in front of the resort.
  • Northern Pike: Guests at Perch Bay Resort regularly catch impressive sized pike weighing well over 5 pounds. Known for their powerful fight and aggressive strikes, these fish make every outing on the water an adrenaline-filled adventure.
  • Smallmouth Bass: With the Winnipeg River carved from solid rock and lined with towering pine trees, the landscape creates the perfect habitat for smallmouth bass—often called “super sport” fish for their fierce fights and acrobatic jumps.
  • Largemouth Bass: Tucked into the quiet back bays, weed beds, and sheltered coves, these hard-hitting fighters thrive in the river’s diverse habitat.
  • Muskie: Although not as common in our stretch of the river, muskies still make a surprise appearance each season—much to the thrill of lucky anglers.
  • Perch: We’re aptly named after one of the most plentiful and fun-to-catch species in our waters—the perch. These small but feisty fish are a favorite among families and beginner anglers, offering fast-paced action and plenty of bites.
  • Grouse: Our area offers some of the best grouse hunting in northwestern Ontario, with miles of scenic trails and rugged backcountry teeming with ruffed and spruce grouse.
  • Deer: Hunt in a prime, untouched wilderness where 250 lb. deer are considered an average size!
