An exclusive, nearly private, fly-in fishing vacation

Scenic image of the waters of Oak Lake.
Despite many beautiful places on earth, it seems that when you vacation in those locations, you find out those in charge let tourists freely enjoy natural environments a little too much. 

In that regard, you've perhaps been disappointed when you've gone to what you thought was an isolated place to gain some relaxation and peace of mind.
Instead of being around pristine nature, you realize excessive tourism is slowly eroding the surroundings. There may even be industries nearby clandestinely harming the environment around you.
A fly-in fishing excursion might be something you've heard about as a way to alleviate the above problems. However, not all fishing spots can claim being in an isolated natural area miles away from large groups of people or industries.

Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we can make that claim because it's 100% true. 

 Located in Ontario, Canada, we're located along Oak Lake, which is one of the most pristine areas you'll find within this province. Ontario is already known for its crystalline beauty, but we were fortunate in being able to manage this particular stretch of land for our long-running lodge.
What you'll appreciate is that we limit visitors so it never has an excess of people. Also, you're miles away from any industry to alleviate worry about pollution or nearby resorts affecting the nature around you.

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

When you visit us, you have a guarantee of exclusive access to a part of the world that hasn't been damaged by industry or humans.
It's an amazing opportunity for you that you and your family won't forget.

Exclusive Access to Oak Lake

Have you ever had the fantasy of having an entire lake to yourself while catching jumbo-sized fish? You can make this come true on Oak Lake with your own private boat we provide. 
It's a rare chance to traverse a lake with some of the freshest water you'll find on the planet. This makes it healthier for the fish, which you'll catch a plenty.
While we do have a catch and release policy on some fish, your chance to commune with nature of this quality is rare indeed. It's an exclusive part of your trip package that only just begins with your fishing trip on our comfortable boats.

You'll have a profound sense of discovery here, including having an idea of what Lewis & Clark must have felt like when they first encountered pristine nature untouched by man.
We get many first-time visitors who have this experience, and it's one that they want to experience more than once. This is certainly an option since we have many visitors who come back and visit every year.

Exclusive Access to Our Cottages and Lodge

As a further way of giving you the keys to the kingdom, we'll set you up in our comfortable cottages where you'll have access to four-star hotel quality service. 
On top of it, we have our nearby lodge where you'll find a place to have a meal any time you want it. This includes a store where you'll find snacks any time of the day, plus fishing supplies.

Oak Lake Lodge has been a bit of a secret vacation spot for a good reason.

Now that summer is about here, what have you planned in the way of a summer vacation? The concept of a fly-in fishing vacation probably never crossed your mind when all of the usual places seem to always go at the top of the list. This includes camping, spending time on a beach, or perhaps even going overseas to supposedly peaceful and quiet places. Yes, we know all of the above don't always turn out perfect. You perhaps still have nightmares about last summer's vacation when everything became more chaotic than you planned. While you probably tried to wipe out those realities to maintain a sense that you had a relaxing vacation, tourism is a big problem in most vacation spots. We're a whole other world away from any tourist chaos here at Oak Lake Lodge. Located within Ontario, Canada's remote wilderness, we're one of the supreme vacation destinations in the world when it comes to finding nature non-disturbed by humans. Considering we only let in about 32 people at a time in the area, you never have to experience excessive crowds. Ultimately, we're your better source for a truly peaceful summer vacation. In what ways are we better, though, than all of your standard vacation destinations? Let's take a look at why you should choose us over any other summer vacation plan you typically place first.
Fly-in Fishing Honeymoon Trips
02 May, 2020
A fly-in fishing vacation probably sounds like an unusual choice for a honeymoon after being married. Yet, when you see what we offer here at Oak Lake Lodge, you might change your mind over visiting any other place in the world. The same could be said of any vacation you'll ever take based on three coveted concepts: Peace, quiet, and privacy. If you have no prior experience with honeymoon vacations, then you probably think you can still find a place with privacy and pure nature. Unfortunately, the reality is a huge wake-up call. All you have to do is ask friends or family about their own past honeymoons and they may tell some troublesome stories about running into situations they didn't expect. Many of those situations are encountering excessive tourists or overly thin walls in swanky resorts or hotels. Both of those are things that anyone on a honeymoon obviously don't want. Regardless, it's still tolerated by many married couples, especially in the summer when so many people are freshly married and on their honeymoon vacations. Unless you're a multimillionaire and can afford a deserted island to escape to (which isn't most of us), you probably wish for better options on your honeymoon. Let us show you why our Oak Lake Lodge is a perfect spot for you and your new spouse. You'll realize that one place still exists on earth where you can enjoy a vacation living up to expectations.

Now that summer is in its final stretch and summer vacations end, have you thought about one more summer escape before going back to work? Because your kids will also likely be back in school soon, the chance for another family vacation possibly can't happen for months. You also perhaps have a job that won't let you get away that easily. A fly-in fishing vacation is one of the best ways to get your mind rested before taking on the long haul of your career through the fall and winter months. Here at Oak Lake Lodge , we want to make vacation experiences meaningful so you can look back and realize you had a truly relaxing vacation rather than one filled with unnecessary stress. The good news is that we're also open in the fall and winter if you can find a window of opportunity to get away to escape your busy life. Even if you can't, we want you to see why vacationing with us as your summer vacation destination is so important. If you're one who can't really find relaxation in any other tourist spot, we'll show you how we make everyone feel like they're in a different world.

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.
