Doran Bay is a picturesque, quiet and very laid-back spot to spend a few days of R&R. Sunsets, particularly in the fall, are simply spectacular. The views of the dam/lock and ships lit by night are truly unforgettable. Enjoy a campfire by the river while watching the ships sail past. Paddle yourself around the bay in one of our free canoes to catch a glimpse of a blue heron, loons, ducks, geese and other wild life.
