Our Story

Kicking Mule Guest Ranch, has been a family-owned and operated business that's been kickin' for over 25 years on Manitoulin Island. From May to October, we've got 12 unique guest accommodations available, each with its own picnic table, fire pit, and sitting area. Our fully equipped outdoor summer kitchen features hot water on demand, propane cook stoves, and a BBQ grill, while our modern bathhouse boasts two individual washrooms, a shower, and an outdoor sink.

​

Kagawong marina facilities include the Aus Hunt Marina (formerly the “government dock”) and the Small Craft Basin, adjacent to the Old Mill building; Jim Fowlie manages both. Open from mid-May to September.

Lake Mindemoya is the perfect place to enjoy a private lakeside cottage with your own dock, fire pit, and much more on Manitoulin Island - the largest fresh water island in the world. We offer fishing charters, paddling packages and sight seeing trips.  We’re also close to hiking trails, art galleries, local amenities, and yet far enough away to be quiet & peaceful! Try your hand at self-guided fishing, fully-guided fishing, swimming the clear waters around the Island, touring local attractions, or just curling up by the campfire with a good book.  

Built in the 1950's, the lodge is located in an incredible setting 2 km from the village of Kagawong along the sandy shores of a peaceful bay on the North Channel of Lake Huron. The lodge and cottages face east with a breath-taking view of the Channel with the LaCloche Mountains in the distance. This tranquil setting is sure to relax you and provide a sense of rejuvenation.

The Gore Bay Museum is housed within the Gore Bay court complex, having originally served as the Manitoulin District Jail and jailer's residence until 1945. This museum is unique in that it has preserved many of its original features, making it one of the few remaining Ontario jails to do so. Today, the museum showcases the fascinating history of the local early settlers.

Gore Bay is a charming small town that boasts exceptional facilities, including a marina that is highly regarded by boaters. In fact, some have even gone so far as to call it "the best marina we've visited anywhere." Situated between two forested bluffs, the marina's picturesque location is just one of its many drawcards. Boaters also appreciate the marina's numerous features, which keep them returning year after year.
