About Brennan Harbour Resort
Resort - History
The Early Days of Brennan Harbour
Brennan Harbour wasn't always the resort you see today. In the early 1900s there were four sawmills in the area and Brennan Harbour was one of them.
In the logging hayday, camps from as far north as Timmins floated logs down the Spanish River. The logs were boomed at the mouth of the Spanish and, as needed, floated into our bay to the mill where they were processed for transportation.
During that time the town of Spanish wasn't so quiet. With 3,000 people, a movie theatre, and four grocery stores, it rivalled many of the surrounding towns.
It wasn't until around 1940 that Brennan Harbour became a fishing camp. Since then many changes have made it into the beautiful resort that it s today.
Logging Legacy
Although Brennan Harbour has grown considerably since the early days, we haven't totally let go of our logging roots. Each year as the water turns over in the spring, submerged logs from long ago float up into our bay. We've used these logs for many thing, including:
- to build the extension on cabin 8
- for the stairs in the lodge that connect the dining room and kitchen
- to extend and repair the dock
- to frame the renovation to cabin 4
Fishing enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the remains of the boom, boom camp, have made a great habitat for Walleye (pickerel).
The Past Meets the Present
In 1938 the last commercial three masted schooner, JT Wing, sailed into our bay. It was loaded up with pulp wood to take back to the paper mill in Green Bay, Michigan. The schooner had a few passengers and one, Henry Barkhausen, couldn't pass up the opportunity sail aboard. With thanks to the modern convenience of the internet, we had the wonderful pleasure of meeting the 93 year old Henry and his lovely wife Alice in July 2008 and seeing them again in 2009.
In August 2008 we also had the pleasure of meeting the Shupe family. Terry first visited the Harbour with his father and brothers in the 1940s when the camp first opened. Terry's wife found the Harbour on the internet and as a birthday gift, gave Terry a week's stay with his family.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My family and I have stayed here three times now, and we love it. The first time we went, the owner apologized when we arrived, that the fishing hadn't been very good lately. That being said, we could not have caught more fish. It was pretty much nonstop, I can't imagine what it must be like when the fishing is good. The cabins are nice, but bring fans and plenty of bug spray and don't leave the lights on outside because the bugs will literally black out the screens. I really don't think we could find anywhere better for a fishing trip.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fabulous week of fishing at Brennan Harbour Resort! Owners and staff are super friendly, helpful and always smiling! Cabin was impeccably clean, well stocked, gorgeous lake views and comfortably accommodated 4 of us in 2 bedroom with comfy living room furniture! Leather couch and chair perfect for pet friendly resort, laminate floors throughout (no must old carpeting we have seen at other places), and we caught a ton of fish! Walleye right in the bay by the dozens, and landed several pike in the 5-9 lbs range made our week!
When we arrived we were bit surprised and apprehensive that you cannot drive to your cabin…. Boy were we wrong! Cabins are all a 2 minute walk (literally) and friendly staff brought all of our gear right inside cabin in a matter of minutes! I didn’t see a car all week! No slamming doors or honking to set car alarms heard… loved it. Same scenario when leaving, staff were ready to move our gear at check out and so very friendly and happy to serve their guests!
Tons of islands and bays to explore, fish plentiful and accommodations top notch! Highly recommended

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From the moment we arrived to when we departed it was evident that the owners and staff had one goal in mind, to make our stay an enjoyable time to remember. They were always polite, friendly, there to assist us and answer questions. The resort set on the lake away from traffic provides a peaceful, outdoor experience. The cabin was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The view of the lake and surrounding area was breathtakingly beautiful. The walleye fishing was fantastic. There was no shortage of quantity or quality of fish caught. Our boat handled the water well and was very comfortable. We did not hesitate to ask if there was a vacancy for next year. Our week at Brennan Harbour Resort is one we will remember and fondly look back on for years to come.
