Resort History & Heritage

Long Point Eco-Adventures was conceived by virtue of the owners' - Dave Pond and Mike McArthur - respect and adoration for the flora, fauna, ravines, and unique shorelines of the Long Point Biosphere Reserve. There was a distinct shared interest in naturalizing and restoring a 37 acre tobacco farm--a hidden gem overlooking the beauty of the Turkey Point Marsh. After completing various ecological studies in partnership with wildlife experts, a plan was derived that would allow guests to appreciate the natural beauty of the area, while sustaining the ecosystems and habitats that thrive here.

From the history of our land and the unprecedented architecture of our building, to the people who work and visit, Long Point Eco-Adventures has become environmentally responsible, and sustainable in all our endeavours. We strive to showcase the natural abundance of our land through the collective resourcefulness, enthusiasm, intelligence, and imagination of our great team.
