This year we are offering five unique and exciting trips to choose from. You can't go wrong with some of the world's finest paddling waters, exceptionally knowledgable resource staff, sensational food and at the end of the day a bed to guarentee you are rested and ready to do it all again! Diamond Key is nestled in the northeastern corner of Georgian Bay amongst some of the finest freshwater paddling waters in the world. Please know that it’s not a lodge in the sense of a southern Ontario full service facility. It is an extremely well-kept traditional Georgian Bay fishing camp with a complete septic, drilled well, showers and the best sunsets in the world.
