This Winter has been super busy with ice fishing lovers coming to the resort from all over Ontario and Quebec. Families, die-hard anglers & friend groups have been having a blast embracing the winter with some outdoor fun! We are grateful they have chosen Merland Park for their winter destination.
Over the past 2 decades, we have had the privilege of meeting some incredible guests. Some of who have become return customers each year, others who have become good friends & most have contributed to the success of our resort and we are so grateful for the wonderful memories we have made with all of […]
We hosted Paul Beasley and his crew from Canada in the Rough at Merland Park mid February. We had a fun-filled day of ice fishing as they were in search for those big walleye that our area is known for. It was a great winter adventure filled with fishing and lunch on the ice! We […]

Out on the ice for 5 hours & caught 10 jumbo perch & these two beautiful pike. Pete caught most of the fish on the VMC Tingler – perch color and tipped with a minnow. Great day outdoors!
