Minutes from Port Dover and Turkey Point Beach on Lake Erie. Founded by Dave Pond and Mike McArthur, the property began as a 37-acre tobacco farm overlooking the Turkey Point Marsh and has been transformed into one of Southern Ontario's most distinctive sustainable tourism destinations. The resort's activity programme combines high-adventure outdoor experiences with genuine ecological education: a Treetop Canopy Adventure with 8 ziplines, 2 suspension bridges, 14 platforms, and a 40-foot rappel through the Carolinian forest; stargazing in an observatory dome; guided kayaking and paddleboarding on the Turkey Point Marsh; mountain biking; axe-throwing; and mushroom foraging. The JORO outdoor sauna and cold plunge programme adds a Nordic-style wellness dimension to what is fundamentally an adventure resort, creating a recovery circuit for bodies that have spent the day in the trees. Accommodations include Wilderness Suites with private washrooms and fire pits, Deluxe and Elite Pods tucked into the forest, Pod Clusters for groups, Camping Pods, the Mabee Marsh Cabin (sleeps 17) with panoramic marsh views, and the Rollercoaster Bunkhouse for mountain biking groups with direct trail access. The Marshview Patio restaurant is open year-round. Every adventure connects guests to the Long Point Biosphere, and the resort partners with local conservation initiatives to protect the ecosystem while making it accessible. ## What it is like - Treetop Canopy Adventure. 8 ziplines: A 2.5-hour guided circuit through the Carolinian forest canopy: 8 ziplines, 2 suspension bridges, 14 platforms, and a 40-foot rappel with certified guides providing ecological narrative throughout. - JORO outdoor sauna and cold plunge: Nordic-style thermal contrast recovery in a biosphere forest setting.
