Canoeing/Kayaking
Canoe the York River and the placid waters of Conroys Marsh from our convenient landing on Pinecone Bay. Canoeists will experience the serenity of the river and the tranquil beauty of the marsh with its many hidden lakes and waterways. Conroys Marsh abounds with wildlife viewing and birding opportunities, especially in the early morning and evening hours, The surrounding pre-cambrian mountains create the perfect back-drop for this hidden, magical treasure of the Madawaska Valley.

Trips can vary in length, depending on ability and route, but most trips typically take from 3-4 hours. Whether using one of our canoes or kayaks, or paddling your own, we are here to assist you with your wildlife-viewing adventure from start to finish.
Enjoy 1/2 mile of river frontage on the York River. Whitepine Cottage is tucked away in a very private setting on the Upper Conroy Rapids. Relax on the riverside terrace, sunbathe on the warm sand, swim in the refreshing waters, experience a full body massage in the swirling waters, or meditate on one of the many huge boulders in the river. Great for the whole family--young and old.

There is a public beach with picnic tables and shelters on a small lake 3 miles away on Foster's Lake. The water is warm and shallow, ideally suited to families with young children looking for an afternoon outing.

This was a perfect getaway for our family! While there were many things to do (canoe, kayak, hike, etc.) we spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful property and swimming in the rapids in front of the cottage! Gus was a great host and very welcoming. Would not hesitate to book this experience again. Thanks Gus!

We spent 4 days enjoying some quality quiet time by the river. With all the rain we had, the water level in river was a bit high. Played board games, spent time swimming and hiking. Gus had some well marked trails for us to hike. Gus was a great host. Will be back again.

This place was perfect for us. 2020 has been a challenging year and we just needed to get away from it all. Such a beautiful spot and we were so thankful to be able to experience the peacefulness and serenity this spot has to offer. We walked all the trails surrounding this cottage and used the canoes for some paddles in the river. Coffee in the morning was enjoyed by the water as well as cocktails in the late afternoon/evening. This place was pure heaven for us.

This is truly a beautiful place. We loved our peaceful canoe rides in the river and hikes through the mossy forest. A highlight was photographing the night sky and spotting a few shooting stars. Gus is a wonderful, helpful host and we're looking forward to visiting him and his beautiful property again soon!
