The Franklin Club Amenities

An Outdoors Club Experience for Every Season

Fishing is at the heart of The Franklin Club, but the experience reaches well beyond the water. Set on a private natural property just north of the city, the Club offers the feeling of a Northern Ontario cottage retreat close to home, with the comfort, convenience and community of a private club open 365 days a year.

Throughout the seasons, members and their families enjoy a peaceful outdoor setting with space to gather, dine, stay overnight and spend time in nature. The Clubhouse serves as a welcoming year-round hub, featuring dining, lakeview gathering spaces, a large deck, comfortable lounges, games room, a wood fireplace and spaces for private meetings, dinners and member hosted events.

Outside, the property offers room to enjoy the outdoors in every season. Summer brings time on the trails, boating, BBQs, picnics, camping and relaxed days around the property. Winter brings its own rhythm, with ice skating, cross-country skiing, fireside gatherings and quiet afternoons inside the Clubhouse. From warm-weather weekends to winter visits, The Franklin Club gives members something to enjoy all year long.

We’re more than a place to fish, The Franklin Club is a private outdoor escape where families, friends and members get to slow down, connect and enjoy the feeling of a private cottage getaway all year long.
