Kirk Kove Cottages: A Family Cottage Resort In Ontario Known For Walleye Fishing

Kirk Kove is situated in the sparsely populated Land O' Lakes Region-one of the last natural preserved areas in Ontario . We are located on a dead end road leading to the beauty of Big Gull Lake, giving the impression we are remote, yet we are easily accessible from the United States, Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto areas.

Kirk Kove is a long established Resort with history, widely known for its innovative Ski shows in the 50's and 60's. Though the show is no longer, the clientele largely has remained giving the Resort a feel of familiarity and friendliness for new and repeat clients.

During your stay at Kirk Kove Cottages you will find:

  • cottages to be large
  • cottages situated on 1/4 mile waterfront to ensure some quiet time and privacy
  • all cottages have showers and many upgrades
  • new mattresses, fridges and stove to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay
  • wireless wi-fi Internet throughout the Resort
  • excellent Walleye and Bass fishing
  • our Marina and outfitters
  • easy access to the best canoe routes in the Land O' Lakes including the Big Gull Lake Canoe Route
  • some cottages with wheelchair access

New Lund Boats. We have newly purchased a fleet of Lund deep V 14.5 foot boats with new 9.9 HP & 15.0 HP Johnson 2 stroke motors also with 2 swivel seats for maximum comfort.

Big Gull Lake is a large spring fed headwater lake of the Mississippi River System. The Lake has a excellent reputation for walleye and bass fishing and scenic beauty. The walleye and bass thrive in this lake due to its irregular bottom, bays and islands. The Lake is surrounded by thousands of acres of crown land offering many picturesque campsites to visit, picnic, swim or bring you easel to capture the memory.
