Beardrop is one of the more picturesque harbours in the North Channel and offers a number of different activities such as fishing, berry picking, exploring the bluffs, and sunning on a deserted sandy beach. It is a popular harbour and finding yourself alone there is rare. However, it is quite large and can handle quite a few boats. The holding ground is good in 10 to 15 feet of water. There is a small bay between Wicksteed point and the entrance of the harbour with a deserted cabin nearby and a beach which is perfect swimming for children.
Fishing is good for bass pike and walleye along the weeds on the north side.
Perch can be caught off of the deck at your anchorage. Approach the harbour from the west side of Turtle Rock and keep to the center until you reach the group of islands half way down the bay then bear off towards the south shore keeping the group of islands approximately 4 boat lengths off of your starboard side. The best anchorage is behind the group of islands. The panoramic view above was taken from the end of these islands at sunrise.
