Black River Reach

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE


-
Our property is 8.5 acres in size, located on the north side of the Municipality of Tweed, The neighbour lots to the north and south of the property are uninhabited, so ours is very private. The segment of the Black River abutting our property is uncharacteristically wide and deep, making ours the best part of the river.
​
-
The gravel driveway on the property stretches about 900 feet, with a few spots that slope a little steeply. We’ve recently made some improvements, so getting back up is much easier now – even for front-wheel drive vehicles! There are three parking areas along the way, including two at the top, just before the steeper part begins.
​​
-
Firewood is provided, as well as an axe to split firewood further. Bring your own fire-starter paper and matches/lighter. Fires must be supervised by an adult at all times and extinguished completely with water. There is a water hydrant near the fire pit, and pails are available in the boat shed. If needed, a copy of our Tweed Burn Permit is stapled to the outside wall of the barn, above the wood pile. Consult the City of Tweed fire burning regulations for more safety info (camp fires are listed as "recreational burning").
​​
-
Regarding the riverfront, there is both a dock for swimming and a canoe for your use. The boat shed is equipped with canoe paddles, two adult-size life jackets, two youth-size life jackets, and a canoe. There are also various swim goggles, water flippers and water shoes. Please hang life jackets back up after using them so they can dry properly.
​​
-
Bring your own tenting supplies. You are free to bring a trailer, but remember the driveway is very steep.
​​
-
Cell phone reception is generally good. Tested with Rogers, Bell and Freedom Mobile.
​​
-
The cliffs on the property are quite steep, so for everyone’s safety, we kindly ask that no rock climbing take place.
​​
-
No smoking is permitted anywhere on the property.
​
-
Use of the property is provided 'as is', and all users of it assume all risks and liabilities by its use.

At this time, we’re happy to offer our property for free – no charge to enjoy and use it.
