Carefully Prepared Meals

A cornerstone of your comfort and enjoyment

Have you tried other fly in fishing and found them a bit too basic? You won't have to worry about that problem with Oak Lake Lodge. 
We are one of the most trusted and respected fly-in fishing providers in Canada. We provide real quality to true fishermen like yourself. 
If you're not convinced, please on to find out why Oak Lake Lodge will be your next fishing experience.

You will be served tasty, carefully prepared, high-quality meals

The first thing you're going to notice when you get to Oak Lake Lodge is that we have put a lot of care into all our meals. We fly-in high-quality ingredients, best cuts of meats, and fresh vegetables. 
Our cooks carefully plan and prepare each meal, home-cooked style. Our meals are constantly praised by our guests. 
Some of our most praised meals include:

However, you perhaps wonder just how exclusive this type of environment is. 

Sprawling breakfasts with meat, potatoes, and heaping portions of eggs,

Tasty side dishes for your shore lunches that change every day to keep your palate fresh,

Dazzling dinners with home-made desserts,

One option that many of our fishermen love is the "shore lunch," where you'll stop in the middle of the day, take a break on shore, and have a tasty and refreshing meal that keeps you focused on the big fishing tasks ahead. (Shore lunches depend on whether or not you have hired a guide because guides prepare the shore lunches.)

Your Own Private Lake

Do you know why we call it a "fly-in" fishing experience? 

Because you'll literally be flying into a private lake that has no other access points but our facility. As a result, you will have to compete with a far smaller range of fishermen for some of the largest fish in Canada.
And we help ensure that our fish are large by utilizing a "catch and release" policy. Essentially, you can catch the fish, take a picture, and release it back into the water. While this may bum out trophy hounds, it helps keep our lake well-stocked with monster fish. It's a trade-off our repeat fishers find worth making.

Experienced Fishing Guides

Finding the best fishing spots on a new lake can be an exasperating experience. Thankfully, we offer some of the most experienced fishing guides in Canada. 
We retain one of the highest amounts of guides amongst all other guided fishing experiences: as a result, our guides know the lake and know where you can find the monster bass you have been hounding for years.
Our high retention rate also means you're likely to run into the same guide on your next trip. This helps you build a meaningful relationship with an intriguing and well-traveled guide.

Clean, Spacious, Modern Accommodations

By now, you're probably pretty sold on coming to Oak Lake Lodge. However, you might have a harder time pitching the idea to your wife and kids. They might not relish the idea of hanging out in the woods and fishing all weekend. 
Thankfully, there are plenty of options that should please anyone who isn't big into the outdoors:

Comfortable cabins large enough for a family, or a group of friends,

Relaxing chairs and couches that give you a great place to kick back after a long, busy day of fishing,

Comfortable beds filled with the quality linens,

These accommodations help create a surprising amount of comfort for such a rugged trip. For any beleaguered wives or children, these cabins are the perfect place to relax while you go out. However, who's to say your wife and kids don't love fishing? We know they will after spending a 3, 4, or 5 day trip at Oak Lake Lodge.

So if you're more than excited about the amazing fly in fishing experience at Oak Lake Lodge (and you've sold your wife and kids on it), please contact us today to make a reservation.
Contact us to find out more about our vacation packages. Experience exclusive access to nature like you never have to get you back in harmony with the earth.

When you vacation, finding access to food is always an issue, especially when you're traveling with a big family. Having many people along on your trip also means dealing with some picky eaters. When you ultimately can't find the food you want while traveling, it only makes your vacation more of a frustration than a relaxing experience. This is all the more reason why you should try our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge. Meals are never a problem at our lodge because we prepare in advance to make your experience the best it can possibly be. You'll also appreciate our attention to something other vacation spots don't always do: Making sure you never go hungry while still making the food healthy. If the word "healthy" sounds like it shouldn't go on vacation, having a hearty meal already means eating well. You have to keep your energy level up to fully enjoy the pristine nature around you here at Oak Lake Lodge. While providing relaxation for you is our goal, you'll have the privacy of Oak Lake where all-day fishing excursions are available at your leisure. The same goes for archery hunting out in the wilderness that's untouched by excessive amounts of tourists or industries. Despite you vacationing in one of the most undisturbed natural locations on earth, being out in the great outdoors always works up an appetite. It's why we place special emphasis on creating meals we know you're going to love. This includes some of the amazing and large fish you'll catch in Oak Lake that you can enjoy as part of a shore lunch. Take a look at what kind of meals you'll experience for every meal of the day, including the ability to snack when you want to.

When you hear the term "fly-in fishing", no doubt you immediately picture thoughts of a hideaway vacation. While accurate, you've perhaps created a new definition of what a hideaway vacation is. You've possibly become overly cynical about the term because so many hideaway vacations your family visited in the past didn't live up to expectations. This was even more disappointing considering you paid a significant amount to commune with pristine nature and a promise of few tourists. In reality, there aren't any truly pristine tourist areas left in the world other than deserted islands and uninhabited jungles. Only a few places still exist on earth where you'll get some exceptions. We're fortunate to tell you that we provide exceptions here at Oak Lake Lodge thanks to long-standing stringent plans on limiting tourists. Here in Ontario, Canada, we still have some pristine natural environments left not invaded by excess tourism or industry. The land around our lodge received government approval to stay as pristine as you can get while still allowing limited visitors at a time. We only allow 32 people in every few weeks, so you're never experiencing excess tourists. You'll also find many other differences compared to other so-called hideaway vacations. Maybe you know about other secret locations where you can essentially get lost, at least in the off-season. Even if you can sometimes successfully escape crowds in those places, they don't offer the amenities we do. Let's take a look at some of those differences and why we frequently get singled out as one of the best vacation spots within Canada and the United States. We'll help you redefine what a hideaway vacation really is.

There isn't any question that food is a top concern when traveling on vacation. You've probably had more headaches over what to eat than anything else when visiting hideaway resorts, hotels, or even bed & breakfasts. What makes this all the more problematic is the kind of food you'll find in the places where you stay. If you're staying overseas, it sometimes means consuming exotic items you've never had before, which only brings elements of risk. While the above is exciting for some people, it can bring some dangers to your health. The last thing you want is food that could potentially make you sick in a foreign location where medical facilities aren't the greatest. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we decided that food needed a strong focus on our vacation packages. We knew that when people travel to a vacation destination, they wanted food that's substantive, yet also not overly offbeat to a point where it could cause illness. Also, based on the response of our customers, we understood that most people enjoy having traditional food. Yes, traditional food gives you a sense of home, despite being served here in a remote location where pristine nature surrounds you. Let us show you the kind of traditional food you'll find for your fly-in fishing vacation. We'll show you why it's safer and even healthier than many other foods found in other tourist destinations.

When you decide to experience our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge, you'll immediately notice the sense of peace and quiet you'll have in comparison to other vacations. We'll remind you that when you arrive here, you're a long way from any industry. This means miles and miles of natural surroundings and not the loud bustle of traffic. With our limitations of 32 people per visit, you also eliminate concern about excessive tourists. You won't find many vacation spots on earth that don't have an excess of tourists clogging streets, or even on lakes. This sense of peace might sound like we're too far away from providing outstanding amenities. Keep in mind we fly in and provide more amenities and supplies than most lodges do that exist away from civilization.

Experiencing autumn during your fly in fishing vacation here at Oak Lake Lodge is like no other nature experience available in the civilized world. Even if you already live near natural areas and love doing activities in the outdoors during the fall or winter, you probably have to experience an excessive amount of people in those places. Plus if it's a vacation spot, you probably work up a considerable appetite after excessive physical exercise. The problem with the two situations above is that being in nature with too many people already ruins any claims of the surroundings being unspoiled. At a vacation resort, it also means crowded restaurants, leaving you having to wait for food when you want food immediately. You won't find either of the above unfortunate scenarios here at Oak Lake Lodge. The nature here is truly pristine because there isn't any industry around for miles. We also have limitations on how many people we let in at a time, so getting food when you want it isn't a problem. Moreover, you'll have more food here than you can probably digest. Our meals are extremely hearty and generous in their servings. The question is how much of an appetite can you generate while visiting us? When you have cooler weather, invigorating fishing, and hunting all together, you can probably get as hungry as the black bears and moose are when they forage for food this fall.

You've probably heard of that term "vacation from the vacation" more than once and maybe only thought of it as facetious.
