About
Over a Hundred Years of Living History
In 1902, Harry Whiting Brown had a vision. A vision of family together in the wilderness. From Kaavis to Osawa, he, his wife Lucy, and five children began summering in Georgian Bay, Ontario. 100 years and seven generations later, we are going strong. Family folklore includes stories of picnics on the McCoy’s, water skiing, camping, or kayaking. Sharing the best the island has to offer with cousins who are as close as siblings.
Features
Sunset and Evening Star…Harry Whiting Brown’s legacy continues
Nestled amongst the rocky islands of Shawanaga Inlet in Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada, the island of Osawa is a summer retreat for about 100 Brown family members. Traveling from all parts of the United States, the descendants of Harry Whiting and Lucy Chappell McIntyre Brown return each summer to the rugged shores of the island family camp to enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing in the wilderness lake region of Georgian Bay.
There are limitless ways to enjoy our family's own personal national park, from picnics to sunsets to simply napping on warming glacier rocks.
