Wildlife Viewing and Photography at Harris Hill Resort on Lake of the Woods in Northwestern Ontario Canada

Elk are sometimes seen around this area: Elk were planted here by our Natural Resources Department.

Wildlife photography and wildlife viewing are exhilarating experiences with all the species of animals in this area.

Viewing areas are being set up to assist nature and wildlife viewing and photography so that we will not disturb the wildlife.

Check out the abundant number of squirrels and chipmunks running back and forth from our feeders. You will see the occassional Woodchuk too.

Woodchuks are a fun animal to watch. They will frequently be seen in the yard and around the cabins.

Beaver and Otter can frequently be seen swimming around the dock or the water’s edge. One Otter even had her young under our shed just behind the lodge. Come in and see the pictures of her carrying them here.

Deer roam freely around our cabins, in the yard and in the nearby fields and meadows.

Just a mile from here you will find approx 30-50 deer almost at all times, especially towards evening.

An occasional moose, elk, fox, wolf or bear may sometimes be seen in the distance.

Wild flowers, berries, dragon flies and butterflies are native to this area and are always plentiful around our lodge and property.

Enjoy all the different varieties of Orchids, including the Small Yellow Lady’s Slipper, Large Yellow Lady’s Slipper, Showy Lady’s Slipper and the nearly extinct Stemless Lady’s Slipper.
