On the Water
Paddle the Sauble
Canoes, kayaks and paddleboards waiting on the bank. Push off from our shore and follow the river toward the lake.
Sauble Beach, Ontario — Since 1964
Come Back to the Water
A waterfront tradition in Sauble Beach since 1964. Wake beside the Sauble River, spend the day exploring Lake Huron, and return for an evening around the fire.
The Water
Life Moves Differently Here
There are mornings made for paddling. Afternoons made for the beach.
Evenings when the only plan you need is a chair beside the river. For generations, people have come to Kit Wat to slow down and spend time together.
The river is the lobby. The beach is the playground. The fire pit is the living room.

Stay by the river. Play by the lake.
The Sauble River runs past our door and empties into Lake Huron a few minutes away — eleven kilometres of sand, and the sunsets people drive hours to see.

Some places you visit. Some become part of your family.
Some of our guests first arrived as children.
Today, they return with children and grandchildren of their own.
Rooms change. Summers change. The reason people come back hasn't.

"My parents brought me here in 1979. This summer I watched my daughter jump off the same dock."
"We come for the river. The kids disappear into the water at ten and we see them again at dinner."
"Nothing fancy, everything right. The chairs by the water are worth the drive on their own."
