Gannon Narrows Marina

(705) 292 5695

Gannon Narrows

This Petro Canada dealer is on the southwest shore of the narrows and just east of Fothergill Island as you approach from up stream. The marina has the feel of a government dock with the office building set behind the main docks. There aare a number of larger workshops behind the shore and dock areas.

The docks and fuel are easily accessable from the main channel with 4.5 to 5 feet of depth dockside so deep keel boats should approach with caution. There is not much to see or do at the marina and like many before me, it was the collection of the long abandoned geodesic domed cabins that caught my eye when visiting.

There is a houseboat rental company located directly beside the marina with roughly a hald dozen mid sized houseboats at it's dock.

Ontario Marine Salvage can also be found here. If you are looking for a engine part this is a good place to start. For the young explorer the back lot is the final resting place for the remains of Camp Maple Leafs geodesic domed cabins. Their roof insulation breaking off leaving an abstract camoflage that almost blends in dispite the bright orange color exposed.
