Let's Stay Connected after Your Fishing Vacation

Those who've experienced our fly-in fishing vacations here at Oak Lake Lodge know how memorable of a time they have. Our visitors can tell you exactly why if you ever talk to them. 

With pristine nature beyond compare and a private lake for fishing (as just starters), it's a vacation like few others available in the world. Most visitors tell us they wish they could stay a little longer, if not for weeks more.

The best those visitors can do is take their memories with them as they head back home. This isn't to say they don't return the next year as part of their annual vacation. 

Nevertheless, we know how long of a wait it is for some to get back to us for a peaceful respite. Some people are only capable of visiting once every few years.

We understand how difficult it is to leave our surroundings, especially when a visitor ordinarily lives in a more chaotic and stressful environment. 

It's why we've found ways to help take a bit of Oak Lake Lodge with you rather than just a memory.

This can happen in a number of different ways (including at least one of our personal suggestions), so you keep us as one of your very favourite vacation spots.

Bringing a Digital Camera

While taking a digital camera is common for any vacation, you'll want to buy a new memory card for photography here. Don't be surprised if you end up taking hundreds of photos of your experiences once you start exploring the nature around you.

Oak Lake alone is a stunning sight to behold, including the wilderness along the banks that has no tourist sites, housing developments, or industries to bother you. On land, you'll only see the lodge and the cottages where you'll be staying.

Photo moments are also extensive out in the lush woods where our visitors love doing hiking or hunting in the fall. With rare wildlife roaming freely around you, photographic possibilities are limitless.

Don't forget to capture the amazing sunsets you'll see every night. As you can see from our own photo collection of sunsets, they're hard to beat in any other location.

Our Gift Shop

Within our lodge, you'll find not only a store, but also a gift shop where you can buy mementos to remember us by. They're also excellent gifts for others and a way to spread the word to your family and friends about our lodge. 

We have plenty of T-shirts with our logo to proudly wear back home. Plus, when you buy one of our comfy hats, you'll remember your summer vacation with us as you trek through a pile of snow back home next winter.

You'll also find clothing for your kids that they can wear to school next school season. For the entire family, we even have casual wear like jean shirts and sweatshirts so you can keep us in mind at all times, no matter where you go.

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.
