Camp Ohio, at 239 Chapman’s Landing Rd. (above right), is on the shores of Beatty Creek. It’s a 10-minute boat ride from Lake Nipissing, and operates 10 cabins. Local fishing catches include walleye, bass, pike and musky. Len and Audrey Battrick operated the camp at the time the c. 1960s to 1970s postcard above was made. The Camp Ohio postcard boasted that the facility had a swimming pool, shuffleboard and horseshoe pits.

One of the prosperous lumbermen who set up sawmills along the South River in the Nipissing Village area was Fred Baechler, whose large summer cottage is shown. Baechler also established one of two general stores in the village. Ultimately, Nipissing Village would boast of two hotels, two churches, a school, a grist mill, a blacksmith shop and a wagon shop.
