Northern Ontario Fishing Lodge on Talon Lake Near North Bay & Mattawa

SUMMER

Our cottages are booked from Saturday to Saturday from the last Saturday of June to the first Saturday of September. The other months of the year the minimum nights you may book are two.  Three day packages are also available.

Talon Lake is 16 kms long & has offered excellent fishing for many years. The lake is very clean & the fish are good clean fish. There are many areas to fish & maps are provided at the general store & Rick Gater, the owner, will be glad to give you some good tips on where to find them. 

Talon Lake offers a beautiful peninsula about a 7 minute boat ride from our camp. The water is pristine & clear. The MNR provides a fire pit & wood stumps where you can have a shore lunch or simply just sit back & enjoy the sunset. This area is especially good for little children, as the water is not very deep for a ways out. The kids absolutely love it here.

Blueberry Island is a lovely little island where you can pull your boat up in the inlet & go for a little walk & pick as many blueberries as you wish & also the pinecones are abundant. The MNR also maintains this island so you may choose to have a barbecue at the fire pit & enjoy the gorgeous sunset that is always a must.

The Talon Lakes Chutes are a 10-minute boat ride through a gorgeous channel from our camp.
These Chutes were filmed in the making of a Labatt's "Out of the Blue" commercial. You may even have seen them diving off the cliffs in this commercial. This is also a portage so the walk is especially nice with moss growing out of the rocks as you walk up & down the path & very old trees. The Chutes have a strong flow of water & it's a perfect place for the photographer to bring the camera. Morning, noon or evening is always a pleasant time to visit this area.

If you would like to take a canoe & do a day trip, you can go to Paresseux Falls. There are five portages from our camp to reach these beautiful falls, the chutes being the longest & most varied. If you desire a longer trip, from Paresseux Falls you may canoe along the Mattawa River to Mattawa. We have maps & we may be able to answer your inquiries about this lovely trip.

This area has so much to do & we provide a binder in your cottage with so much information about adventures in the area. Ideally, if you were up here a week you could have an adventure every day & be doing something different.

We also have trailer sites depending on availability. Your site is larger than most in the area & you have your own meter. Dumping station is very handy & a laundry facilities & public showers & toilets (which are immaculate) are very nearby. Call for details.

We have a fully stocked general store on the premises - fresh vegetables weekly, a large variety of dairy products, bread, spices & all your grocery needs. Many souvenirs & gifts - one of a kind are available here as well. You may be surprised what you see in our little store - it is full of many little surprises.
