    CUSTODIAN: Cedric De Belder at cedricdebelder@gmail.com

    An added feature to your typical stay at Bon Echo this Thanksgiving Weekend involves a pot-luck Thanksgiving Feast on the Saturday night, hosted by Bryan Thompson. Here’s how it works:
    Bryan will roast a stuffed Turkey and ham over the fire, with accompanying gravies and cranberry sauce. A vegan option is also provided. The cost for this is $15 per person (on top of the normal Bon Echo fees).
    In addition, everyone brings a side-dish, salad or dessert to round out the meal – enough to feed 10 people. All participants enjoy the dinner family style together.
    Please contact Aileen De Belder at debelderdong@gmail.com to notify her what you will bring, whether you require the vegan option, and to provide payment for the dinner. Hope to see you all there!

  • Bon Echo Thanksgiving

    October 9, 2026 - October 12, 2026  
    Tappings Bay Boat Launch, 13 N Mazinaw Heights Rd, Cloyne, ON K0H 1K0, Canada

    CUSTODIAN: Cedric De Belder at cedricdebelder@gmail.com

    An added feature to your typical stay at Bon Echo this Thanksgiving Weekend involves a pot-luck Thanksgiving Feast on the Saturday night, hosted by Bryan Thompson. Here’s how it works:
    Bryan will roast a stuffed Turkey and ham over the fire, with accompanying gravies and cranberry sauce. A vegan option is also provided. The cost for this is $15 per person (on top of the normal Bon Echo fees).
    In addition, everyone brings a side-dish, salad or dessert to round out the meal – enough to feed 10 people. All participants enjoy the dinner family style together.
    Please contact Aileen De Belder at debelderdong@gmail.com to notify her what you will bring, whether you require the vegan option, and to provide payment for the dinner. Hope to see you all there!

    The cliff at Bon Echo is in a beautiful setting, rising 300 feet out of Lake Mazinaw. There is a large number of existing trad routes, from 5.0 to 5.12. However, there is no sport climbing.

    Because the cliff lies within a provincial park, there are rules that must be observed (mandatory helmets is one). Make yourself familiar with them at the section website: alpineclubtoronto.ca/bonecho

    The ACC hut is on the far side of the lake, and most climbers get there by the club boat. Pickup times at the public dock on North Mazinaw Heights Rd should be arranged with the custodian, and are usually between 5 pm and 1030 pm on Wednesday or Friday, although other times may be arranged upon request.
    The weekday trips are Wed eve (approx 5pm) to Friday eve (approx 5pm).
    The weekend trips are Friday eve (approx 5pm) to Sunday eve (approx 4pm)

    HUT FEES: 
    Pre-paid via e-transfer. Fees include boat transport to the dock and cliff.
    Members: $30 per day/night.
    Non-members: $60 per day/night.
    Age 13 to 18 half price, under 13 free.

    WHAT TO EXPECT:
    The hut is open. Climbers sleep in their own tents. Please pack out your garbage. The last boat trip to the dock is 4pm Sunday (unless the custodian advises otherwise). Please respect the custodian’s right to go home at a reasonable hour.

    TRIP CLASSIFICATION: B/C

    WAIVER: You will be required to sign an ACC waiver at the dock upon arrival.
