Erika's grandparents started bringing their family to the Upper Rideau in the early 1960's to enjoy the fantastic fishing. After several years of staying at nearby rental cottages, they bought the land this cottage sits on in 1965. For the first several years, the family camped on the land as they slowly built the cottage themselves, summer-by-summer. Erika's first 2 summers here were spent in a tent.
Every year since 1965 (with the exception of 2020, when Covid restrictions made it impossible), one or more generations of our family has spent time at this property. It gives us great pleasure to know that other families are creating their own memories here.
