To do a lot or do nothing at all? A tough decision when almost everything is included in one package. No matter what time of year, there's always a lot to do at Couples Resort. Then again, who said you couldn't just relax in a deep padded chaise lounge on your own room deck and indulge in a favorite novel while resting in the soothing warmth of the day. Whatever you choose, you're sure to enjoy all of our activities.
The resort sits on a Semi-Private Lake, Galeairy Lake which is 11 km long reaching into Algonquin Park and 95% undeveloped so great for exploring hidden bays and exploring what nature has to offer along the shorelines. Or explore the rugged surroundings can compel you to take a guided trail ride in the Algonqin wilderness. With with direct access to 35 km of trail alongside the serene Madawaska River on an abandoned railway bed you can go mountain biking or ATVing for hours. Or take a leisurely hike on the resorts trails.
For an invigorating experience, take a refreshing wild swim—nothing compares to a long, rejuvenating dip from our dock into the crystal-clear lake. Just steps away, our pool awaits, nestled on a sprawling 5,000-square-foot multi-level patio.
Very clean and safe, with water temperatures hitting 25C (78F) by the end of July. Typically the lake temperature is above 18C (70F) from the third week of June to the first week of September.
