Why did the turtles cross the road? To lay their eggs!
Did you know that Kenauk is home to 3 distinct turtle species? Many of these turtles prefer to lay their eggs in the soft sand beside our roads, so keep an eye out and you might be lucky enough to see one! You can do your part in conservation by giving these turtles lots of space to take care of their business. That way, the turtles can safely lay their eggs and our guests will be able to enjoy their presence for years and years to come.
Dear guests and friends,
Good news! Starting on June 15th, it will be possible for us to receive groups in our chalets that are; mixed groups of 10 people or less, from three households or less.

Our three series of chalets: Heritage, Classic and Deluxe offer you a range of possibilities to make the whole family happy. Ranging from 1 to 7 bedrooms that can accommodate up to 20 people, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.

Here are some activities that will appeal to the whole family:

This is a must for young children. The bus is in the heart of the forest, a short snowshoe hike gives you access to this large canvas, a place where your creativity can flow freely! Graffiti, messages of hope and drawings can be painted with eco-friendly spray paint.

The fishing season never needs to end at Kenauk Nature. Book an ice fishing guide and enjoy a truly Canadian experience on a private lake. Keep your catch and eat fresh fish that same evening!
Kenauk Nature is full of unique and active family activities to make this spring break an unforgettable one.
The Canadian Ski Marathon is North America’s longest and oldest cross-country ski tour. Unlike most ski events, there are no winners or losers in the Canadian Ski Marathon: it is not a race. The event offers something for everyone, regardless of age, endurance or ability. Tourers and families who ski less than the full distance make up about half the participants. Each skier can select his/her own level of challenge and try to achieve it. One can ski as little as 12 km or up to the maximum of 160 km over the weekend.
Kenauk Nature is a proud partner of the CSM for another beautiful edition. Join us on February 7th-8th-10th to experience the marathon.
