Jubilee Lodge and Marina, nestled along the scenic Ottawa River in Petawawa, Ontario, offers a serene escape that blends nature with thoughtful amenities. Rated 4.4 stars, this lodge and marina provide a perfect balance of relaxation and outdoor adventure. Visitors often praise the private, clean campground sites—although the name has since changed to Black Bear Campground, the spirit of tranquility remains.
The marina features a well-maintained boat launch and slips, welcoming paddlers and boaters alike. Kayak enthusiasts find it an ideal spot to explore nearby islands and gentle river currents, aided by the availability of kayak rentals and friendly, helpful staff. During summer, the lively atmosphere is charged with boating activity, while a modest fee for boat launching and on-site fuel, albeit at a premium price, ensures convenience for visitors.
Winter transforms Jubilee Lodge and Marina into a hub for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The maintained trails offer a pristine playground for snow lovers, with equipment rentals simplifying access. Seasonal adaptability, combined with the welcoming lodge serving food and pints, evokes a cozy, communal experience year-round.
The grounds invite visitors to unwind with riverside walks and vehicle parking that facilitates easy access to the outdoors. While some note the parking surface could benefit from improvements due to potholes, it hardly diminishes the overall appeal. Jubilee Lodge and Marina is more than a marina—it’s a gateway to natural beauty, adventure, and quiet moments by the river, harmonizing convenience with the outdoors in a way that resonates deeply with those who visit.
