The Cognashene Community

On the eastern edge of Georgian Bay, Cogneshene is a water front community, about a 20 minute boat ride (6 miles North West) from the town of Honey Harbour, and can only be accessed by water. The community travels by boat throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall, and, with many snowmobile trails accessible in winter, winter access to the cottages is quite simple all year round.

Where to Find us

The Cognashene Community was established approximately 120 years ago. Cognashene is approximately 6 miles North West of Honey Harbour and can only be accessed by water. Cognashene is an area of the Georgian Bay coastal waterways renowned for splendid recreational waterfront properties. The area runs from Tomahawk Island in the south to just north of Cognashene Point in the north.

Even though the view of the area seen on Google Maps shows a lot of land, Cognashene is also home to the Cognashene Nature Reserve at the northern part of the community. For many cottagers and boaters, Cognashene is a region of open water passageways that leads up to Go Home Bay, 12 Mile Bay, Sans Souci, Parry Sound and further.

All of the cottages within this portion of the 30,000 islands are water access only. Honey Harbour provides numerous marinas, resorts, golf courses and any necessary shopping.
