More than a dot on the map.
Sheet Harbour is more than a dot on the map; it’s a place where the rivers West and East River flow gracefully into the Northwest and Northeast Arms of the harbor, painting a picturesque landscape that mirrors the ebb and flow of time. Embraced by eroded coastlines and surrounded by pristine lakes, the region’s humid continental climate, influenced by the nearby ocean, creates an inviting atmosphere year-round.
