TUMBLEHOME LODGE IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. THAT INCLUDES OUR COTTAGES, BEACH AREA, DOCKS, BOAT LAUNCH AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. We do not offer public boat launching. Our private launch is reserved for Tumblehome guests staying at the lodge. No exceptions. We do not have the extra space, and recommend using the public access launch located a mile down Ardoch Road, the first right turn onto Crotch Lake Access Road, or the public launch located in Ompah at the north end of Crotch Lake. If you are coming from the lake, please do not use our docks as a parking spot. Again, it is private property and each dock spot is numbered and designated to Tumblehome Lodge guests whom also pay to obtain their specific dock spot. You will be politely asked to move your boat.
CAMPERS WHO HAVE A SITE ON CROTCH LAKE PLEASE READ:
UPDATE: WE ARE FULLY BOOKED FOR CANOES AND CAMPER BOATS THIS 2024 SEASON. Reach out if you would like to be added to our waitlist. Thank you.
We only offer 14ft 9.9hp boats to rent for $75.00/day and canoes for $45.00/day to get to your campsite on crotch lake that you have reserved thru the North Frontenac township. Prices do not include tax or gas used. We recommend making sure you have transportation by boat or canoe before booking your campsite. The canoes and boats can NOT be taken off Tumblehome Property or strapped to a vehicle and taken elsewhere. You may only launch the canoe into Crotch Lake from our launch. If you need extra parking we have limited parking available located at our boat trailer parking lot for 10$/day PER VEHCILE. You will be given a parking permit that must be visible in your vehicle for us to see that the car has been paid for. All other unauthorzied vehicles that do not have a visible parking permit will be towed. For those who are not aware, when you book your campsite with the township, the parking permit you purchase online is NOT located at Tumblehome. It is located at the public access launch. We highly recommend parking at the access launch down Crotch Lake Access Road due to over crowding at the lodge.
ATTENTION: Please make sure you arrive no later than 4pm. Our waterfront staff need time to show the boat and we require you to pay/sign the paperwork before taking the boat out. Unfortunately we will not be able to serve you if you come after this time. NO HALF DAY BOAT RENTALS. No matter the time you arrive and/or return the boat, you will be charged the same price as if it were a full day.
Due to many no-shows, we require a deposit of $75 to secure your boat rental. At the time of booking please make sure you have a valid credit card ready. The remaining balance will be paid once you arrive. The gas used during you trip must be paid for when returning the boat. You are responsible for any damages that occur to the boat. Our waterfont staff will need to finalize the boat before you leave.
IMPORTANT: Please do NOT crowd the boat launch for an extended period of time. We have many other guests that need to launch/retrieve their boats. Unload quickly and park in our designated boat trailer parking lot if you have paid for extra parking, OR the access launch parking lot.
ALL CAMPERS RETURNING FROM YOUR SITE ON CROTCH LAKE - YOU MUST TAKE YOUR GARBAGE HOME. We cannot keep up with the garbage consumption unfortunately.
