The White Pines Cottage Resort is Eastern Ontario’s premier three-season vacation and fishing destination. It is situated on Black Donald Lake, which at 27 miles long, makes it one of the largest lakes in Eastern Ontario. With hundreds of miles of pristine forests and waters, this beautiful waterway is predominantly surrounded by crown land, creating an ideal setting for outdoor and nature enthusiasts. The White Pines offers lodging and numerous opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and Black Donald Lake fishing (the nearest village is over 28km away). Enjoy a peaceful walk on our nature trails, paddle down the lake, or lie on the dock and listen to the symphony of the late-night loon call.

 

We have worked hard to provide warm hospitality in a relaxed family atmosphere and intimate setting. The most wonderful family vacation awaits you at The White Pines.

 

The White Pines is nestled in the heart of the Madawaska Highlands, part of the Ottawa Valley, which stretches from Ottawa westward to the wilderness of Ontario’s world-renowned Algonquin Park. More than one half is wilderness, with 6 million acres of clean waterways, rolling hills, and dramatic landforms. It is one of the most activity-enriched regions in Ontario. The Madawaska Highlands follow the Madawaska River from Algonquin Park to Calabogie. This is a majestic hilly region with many wilderness acres, hardwood forests, and hundreds of lakes.

 

Our secluded cottages are strategically placed within a gorgeous mature pine forest. The topography is a rugged wilderness setting, which is habitat to abundant wildlife including deer, bear, moose, fox, wolves, otter, beaver, and mink. Bird enthusiasts and photographers will be overwhelmed with over 60 species of birds.
