What’s New

Upgrading our property, each year before the peak rush, helps us stay competitive & drives those five-star reviews which we appreciate so much! We were super excited to start the 2026 season off with some much needed TLC for our motel units. All three motel decks, at the back of the units, were redone in […]

Whether it is a full or half day charter, a grandfather and grandson outing, a father/daughter fish or best buddies doing what they love, anglers always like to come fish on the Bay of Quinte.  This spring has been very busy with return guests and new Merland Park visitors bringing in some beauty walleye and […]

Even though we can’t do charters yet or have guests use the rental boats and bring in their catch of the day, we are still scouting out hot spots and having luck!  We look forward to seeing all our guests share their fish stories and fishing photos with us again real soon.

Phenomenal charter with Ian, Greg & Warren from Burlington & Lincoln area.  We had 2 triple headers, caught over 40 walleye, 4 pike and a jumbo 13″ perch.  The boys kept 10 small walleye and released all the large ones.  This fishing charter was a gift from their wives and the boys were thrilled with […]

Since the May Opener, the park has been bustling with large groups returning to get their fist bite of the season, cyclists travelling through the county who wanted to try their hand at fishing for the first time and die-hard & loyal repeat customers who know where to come for the monster fish. Thank you […]

May Opener begins with a bang.  The Walleye have been on fire and guests are back for another season of great fishing on the Bay of Quinte.

Merland Park staff are hard at work getting everything ready for another season.  We are grateful for their dedication and commitment to making the Park a popular vacation destination. This spring we hired some new staff who have impressed us with their work ethic and we look forward to a great season together.  Decks getting […]

Luckily, this Spring’s flooding didn’t affect us too badly.  We had much higher water levels but minimal flooding at the shoreline. Even better news is the fish, who must love the extra water, are on fire!  They are biting early this year and are just the perfect size for eating. Guests at Merland Park have had some […]

In the spring of 2016, Suzanne and Louise, hosts from Unis Tv’s show Elles Pechant, visited the park to film an episode about fishing on the Bay of Quinte. We were thrilled to have them stay at Merland Park!   The episode aired on June 20th!

On May 24th, Barry Carte brought in this 11 lbs Walleye and Kevin caught these two beauties! Then on May 29th, Bob & his son arrived just after 7:00 am to celebrate his son’s birthday and we were on the boat at 7:30. We caught 9 fish before noon and 3 after lunch. They were […]
