The Magnetawan River flows wild and free for 175 km from Algonquin Park into Georgian Bay. Known for canoeing, whitewater paddling, fishing, and its untamed spirit, it embodies all we love: healing & serene, wild & rugged, vibrant, healthy & happy.
Like the river, love evolves with every season. Return here to renew your vows, revisit the place where it all began, and let the forest — and the trees that bore witness on your wedding day — embrace you once more.
A River Retreat is infused with love, rooted in romance, and strong as the current that carries it.
Start your marriage where water, wilderness, and soul collide — and let your greatest adventure begin here in Northern Ontario. A River Retreat could be your all-inclusive elopement and mini-moon experience! Crafted for couples who share a passion for nature, nurture, and luxury!
