About Outpost Lodge The

Preparing For Your Trip!

What To Bring

Please bring with you the following items:

Bath and beach towels
Personal soaps and shampoo
Kitchen paper products
Zip loc bags & plastic wrap

Bringing Your Own Boat?

Before you leave home, make sure you have all safety equipment including a life jacket for all persons.

Double check your tires, not forgetting the spare and trailer – better to deal with any problems at home than on the road!! Please clean your boat inside and out with bleach or other recommended chemicals – we must do everything we can to prevent the transport of invasive species.

Most of our lakes are relatively small being serviced by gravel roads and launches. If your boat is larger than 18′ and has a deep hull, you may not be able to launch on some lakes. For those with larger boats, you will spend your fishing time on our home lake and Tunnel Lake.

Our home lake, Jobamageeshig, has a good stone launch with a gradual slope into deeper water. There is lots of room for turning and parking for vehicles and trailers down at the beach area.

Tunnel Lake is accessed via a cement slab launch, able to accommodate much larger craft. The launch is a 5 minute drive south of the Lodge. Tunnel Lake is part of the Mississagi River hydro system so water levels do fluctuate. There are no docks here. We provide maps and orientation for all lakes (and maybe a few fishing holes!) You may consider using one of our boats for your first visit or for shorter stays. Our boats are simple fishing boats, 16′ Lund and 15.5′ Princecraft with 4-stroke Mercury motors. Gas is supplied with your rental.

Children

For children, bring along any identification you may have with a birth certificate being the minimum.

If the kids are not yours or live at a different address, get a letter of permission from a parent or guardian.

Groceries

Joining us for dinner in the main Lodge dining room will reduce your need to pack and bring along extra supplies. We are hoping to bring back dine-in service but will be delivering evening meals regardless.

Coming through the Soo, you will pass three good grocery stores, please pick up most of your needs here. Coming from southern Ontario, you will pass good places to pick up extra supplies and groceries in Sudbury, Blind River andThessalon.

Once on highway 129, we are 10 kms north of the Tunnel Lake Trading Post, a great place to stop for ice cream, beer/alcohol and gifts.

Fishing Licenses

For the fisher people, you must purchase an Ontario fishing license, best to do this well before you head North. Check out the Ontario Fishing Regulations for details. Check out the Natural Resources website for all the regulations.

The Tunnel Lake Trading post issues licenses but it would be easier to get them before you leave home.

Firearms

Please note that pepper spray is prohibited as are radar detectors. It is common knowledge that Canadian rules about firearms are quite strict.

Check out the website RCMP Firearms website for more info.

Pellet guns, BB guns, bow/arrows and crossbows cannot be used on Lodge property.

Firewood

Firewood is supplied for all cottages.

We do ask that campfires be kept small, under adult supervision at all times and burned only in the evening.

Best Lodge in Canada

k	keith mcgregor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fabulous place...lots of opportunities to test yourself...crib , fishing, rock moving
J	James Ciceri on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you’re looking to catch fish this is not the place. The rooms were very hot and the owner was no help with locating fishing spots. Very poor fishing.
M	Michael Ford on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2011 visit, The home cooked meals were excellent! The fishing at tunnel lake and a few of the local lakes were really fun for smallmouth bass fishing. Lake was beautiful. Would highly recommend.
J	Janet Scott on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We are locals who, everyone in a while, visit the Outpost Lodge for dinners. Last nite we reserved the whole dining room for a going away party for friends. Sundays the meal is ham but I requested the port roast dinner with chocolate eclairs for desert as it is a favourite of the guest of honour. This was no trouble at all for Jim and Anne and their server Gary. There were 24 of us and we all were treated like kings. The meal was delicious as always and our every need was met with a smile and courteous service. We are so fortunate to have this gem in our "neighborhood" and we look forward to many more special dinners at the Outpost Lodge.
B	Brianna West on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is beautiful! I had the pleasure of being married here, it was perfect. Jim and Ann serve delicious home cooked meals daily for cottage renters and anyone deciding to take a drive up just for dinner. Space is limited so you need to make reservations. I would highly recommend camping here, and the dinners!
P	Phil Walters on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Outpost Lodge Is the most wonderful place. Jim and Ann are the greatest hosts. The meals are fantastic. The fishing is fishing. Sometimes it great sometimes It's not. I go there for the Smallmouth Bass, Walleye And Pike.
B	Bonita Lengyell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stayed at the Outpost for a few days with my two daughters and absolutely loved it. Had a great time, even caught a couple of fish from the paddle boat. Water is crystal clear for swimming. So many places to go visit, we needed more time to do everything. Ann and Jim are a delightful couple, always checking on us to see if we were comfortable. Will be going back for sure Bonita
r	rod denley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a wonderful lodge with lots to do and view. It is also an amazing base camp to explore the surrounding area which Jim and Ann know very well.The picture below of the "Pig Pen Chutes is one of many sites we never knew about before. We have a cabin nearby and enjoy the evening dining, the unique antiques and great treatment by this family of hosts, cooks and dedicated servers.
