Tait’s Landing Marina sits at 472 Hurdville Road in McKellar, on the shore of Lake Manitouwabing in the Parry Sound area. It is a full service marina with on site marine mechanics and a well stocked general store, and it has spent 25 years looking after boaters and cottagers on the lake. With its mix of practical services and easygoing country store charm, it is the kind of place that becomes part of your summer routine.
The service department is the heart of the operation. Factory trained mechanics work on all makes and models of boats, engines, outdrives, and trailers, including Volvo Penta, Johnson, Evinrude, Mercury, and MerCruiser. The shop handles everything from routine maintenance and oil changes to winterization, shrink wrap, and insurance claims and inspections. Dockage is available on Lake Manitouwabing, with summer slips for seasonal boaters.
The general store is worth a stop on its own. Alongside the usual marine supplies, it carries firewood, propane, clothing, swimwear, fishing gear, fireworks, and ice cream. Tait’s is known for having the best gas prices on the water, selling Petro Canada mid-grade ethanol free fuel. If you need parts or accessories, from anchors and buoys to wakeboards, the shop likely has it.
For a day on the water without owning a boat, rentals include pontoon boats, fishing boats, canoes, and stand up paddleboards. Lake Manitouwabing is a beautiful lake for cruising, fishing, and swimming, and Tait’s makes it easy to enjoy. Friendly, affordable, and genuinely useful, this is a marina that earns its regulars.
