Shoal Lake Lodge

Shoal Lake offers what others can only imagine. Our specialty is Northern Pike and Small and Largemouth Bass fishing. Northern Pike fishing is simply fabulous both in number and size. Large weed beds, rockpiles and shoreline teeming with baitfish hold Northern's. Casting over and around these and trolling with spinner baits or rapalas not only yield large numbers of fat healthy pike but large individual fish. Shoal Lake was previously rated by Ontario out of Doors as the No.1 drive to pike lake in Ontario.

Smallmouth Bass is considered second to none in Shoal Lake. It is rated by others to be possibly the best Smallmouth Bass Lake in Northwestern Ontario. The many reefs, shoals and rocky shorelines are littered with football sized smallies waiting to do battle. Throw in bonus whitefish, perch, crappies and you have a superb angling adventure.

The Main Lodge is the centerpiece of our camp. Solid log construction with wood floors and ceiling and a stone fireplace make it warm and inviting. The open concept interior has seating around the fireplace and the main dining room has tables and log chairs. This is where we serve superb breakfasts and dinners. A computer station and wireless internet are here for guest use. The Lodge sits on the farthest south point of the island and has great views in all directions. The east deck overlooks the docks and is great for sunrises and watching boats come and go. The west side deck is great for evenings and sunsets. The front lawn is where we have our Saturday welcome BBQs.

SHOAL LAKE:

Lake of the Woods has over 100 Lodges and Resorts. Shoal Lake has one. Us! Shoal Lake is a large clear island studded Lake extending from Lake of the Woods via Ash Rapids and Labryth Bay to the North West. It is approximately 18 miles in a North/South direction by 25 miles in an East/West direction. The Southwest portion is open water but the rest of the lake is studded with hundreds of islands and even more shoals (it's called Shoal Lake for a reason).

Well protected it offers many, many miles of shoreline and countless offshore structure in its cool clear waters. We are ideally located on Cedar Island in the middle portion of the lake. To the North we have Bag Bay and Cash Bay. To the West we have Indian Rice and Snowshoe Bays. To the East is Helldiver and Labyrinth Bay. South we have a maze of islands to explore. Fish in every direction!

Other than fishing we offer a wilderness experience. Deer, moose, bears, otters, beavers, mink and other wildlife call the mainland and islands home. We have a large eagle population having bald and golden eagles resting on islands including a nest on our islands East end. Ospreys, white pelicans, loons, gulls and terns call the waters home. Unspoiled waters and wilderness make the area a spectacular one. Appreciate it, enjoy it and help us keep it this way.
