Palette Island is nestled near the only protected harbour on the Canadian side of Lake Superior. At 4.5 acres, and shaped like an artist’s palette, this Island is a paradise for anyone seeking complete privacy, yet only 30 minutes from the City of Thunder Bay – including the boat ride.



A natural harbour awaits you to dock your boat(s), with a view of a windmill providing water to a natural pond. Then walk up the stairs to enjoy a 190° view of the mainland, other islands, and the Sibley Peninsula, a.k.a. "The Sleeping Giant". On many clear days, you can see Isle Royal, U.S.A. 40 miles away.



A bird sanctuary of over 100 tree swallow nesting boxes, over 50 different species of birds, and other animals embrace you, as you walk along the island road. On the south side of the home, you are greeted by beautifully manicured gardens, a pond and a greenhouse.
