As I explored the waters of Ontario’s Lake of the Woods for the fourth time last month, I was pleased that some of the lake’s 14,000 islands and 65,000 miles of shoreline looked familiar, but I was elated to rely on our experienced guides for navigation and advice on where to fish .
Ballard’s Black Island Resort is the only camp on the 36-acre Big Black Island, located approximately six miles north of Gill’s Marina near Morson, Ontario. The resort can accommodate up to 24 guests at a time, and our group of 17 almost filled it.
