Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling are popular winter activities during the winter season at Lake of the Woods Resorts. Snow shoeing
and cross country skiiing
are also outdoor activities. The ice often reaches 4 feet deep or more, making those areas on our frozen Lake of the Woods a great place for winter sports activities and family fun winter vacations in Ontario.
Harris Hill Resort is right next to main snowmobiling trails, groomed trails too, that leads from the USA, to Nestor Falls, to Kenora, to different towns in Manitoba and back to the USA again. We are also nearby to "community trails" that lead into the main trails as well as neighbouring towns. Also enjoy snowmobiling on the lake and climbing rock outcroppings plus sight-seeing.
With a variety of fish species within 1 - 4 miles from Harris Hill Resort, it is an opportune area for winter ice fishing enthusiasts. These areas are quite secluded and have low pressure fishing. You won't find miles and miles of ice huts, more like 8 -10, and 3 of them belong to Harris Hill Resort for renting out to our customers, along with warm comfortable house keeping cottage to return to in the evening at our ake of the Woods Resort.
Our one fully winterized cabin (cabin #5 will sleep up to 7 people) can be rented from us, with or without renting a heated ice fishing shack. It is fully house keeping capable, has electric heat as well as LP propane heat, Satellite TV, running water, Wireless Internet, toilet and shower etc.
Ice Fishing on Lake of the Woods is a popular sport especially teamed with snowmobiling and a warm cabin to return to.
Our 10 ' X 16 ' Ice Huts are of Wood & Tin construction with 12 or 14 ice fishing holes, 16' windows on both sides, 10" holes, chairs/seats, light and a wall mounted LP propane heater in them.
With 14 ice fishing holes you can have Seven fishermen with two holes each, or up to as many people as you want ice fishing in this heated ice fishing shack.
During a "good" winter, if there is not too much snow and wind, we can maintain an ice road so that you can drive your trucks right to to the nearby fishing spots. Otherwise you have access to our fishing shacks and private fishing spots with your Snowmobile or your ATV depending on the snow conditions.
