The Legend of The Lost Port
Port McNicoll’s waterfront property to live again in history
Once it was one of the largest ports on the Great Lakes, where grand white ships arrived from the distant west and set sail again, connecting the industrial east with the new provinces. And 100 years ago at Port McNicoll, Canadian Pacific built a magnificent mile-long deepwater slip that would cost hundreds of millions to build today as the southern terminus for its Great Lakes Passenger Fleet. It was a golden age of adventure travel with graceful ships, elegant staterooms and white glove service. By 1965, steamships gave way to faster modes of travel and CP closed and preserved the Port. The pages of history turned and for over 50 years the Port waited for the day when it would rise again. That time is now…
The Renaissance is here. Are You?
The Renaissance of Port McNicoll has begun! This magnificent 6.5 miles of shoreline and four bays on Georgian Bay at the tip of the 30,000 islands, with its mile-long slip and waterfront lands are now being transformed into a vibrant world-class four-season resort village, a masterplanned community of custom built homes with wrap around veranda’s, full ownership condominiums, a private marina, gardens and a high-end resort hotel and commercial enterprises. Over half of the 825 acres will remain preserved wetland including a protected swan nesting area. A recreational waterfront property like no other.
Very soon on the harbour side… boats will begin to fill the docks… and the restaurants, cafes and shops will bustle with life. Will you be there?
