Big Creek Ontario
About the Property
One of North America’s Premier Waterfowl Properties!
Since its founding in 1908, Big Creek has been owned by a select group of families who have shared a commitment to land stewardship & wildlife conservation. Positioned along the northern shore of Lake Erie, Big Creek benefits from the funneling effect of the Great Lakes shoreline and the convergence of the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways. Each autumn, beginning in October, vast flights of ducks and geese move south from Quebec and northern Ontario, following rivers and tributaries to this historic destination. Early migrants such as teal arrive first, followed by mallards, pintails, and black ducks as the season progresses. Here, birds gather in remarkable concentrations before continuing their southern journey.
Most guests agree that the Big Creek experience is unparalleled in the waterfowl world. Exceptional bird numbers, thoughtfully designed habitat, and effortless access to the blinds combine to create mornings that many hunters would describe simply as the “finest hunt of their lives!”
