Enjoy Fishing in Canada without "Roughing It"
You've probably heard of that term "vacation from the vacation" more than once and maybe only thought of it as facetious.
Then, when you started taking more vacations in North America or at international resorts, you suddenly realized it's not really a joke. While it sometimes depends on circumstances, it seems more work from your side goes into making your vacation go well.
Particularly when you have a family and kids, it's not always easy to keep things in order when vacationing somewhere. It may turn into a far more chaotic experience than you expected, which only ruins vacations if you've paid big bucks for amenities you probably didn't need anyway.
Even if some luxury resorts go out of their way to help you, they still expect you to do far too much to keep things in order.
They may also expect you to adhere to rules outdoors as well that restrict you from freedom or true enjoyment of any surrounding nature.
You won't find that kind of approach here at Oak Lake Lodge. We understand that when people go to a vacation destination, they don't want to do anything that requires extra work to take away time for more fun activities.
Take a look at what you'll find in our fly-in fishing vacation
and how much red carpet treatment you'll receive in a pristine and remote place.
Cottages with the Modern Amenities
While we're located miles away from civilization, the cottages we offer don't skimp on amenities. Perhaps you've stayed in remote locations before and ended up being responsible for everything in a cottage or cabin. It's true that some of those work as time shares or rentals where you're responsible for cleanup and maintenance.
It doesn't work this way in our cottages. You're catered to like you'd see in a four-star hotel. You'll have all the best amenities in every room, plus maids available to clean up and provide everything you need.
The above means you can wake up and not worry about having to take out garbage or seek fresh towels yourself. We'll even deliver coffee to your door every morning so you don't have to wait for it when getting breakfast.
With this kind of service, you already eliminate half the work during a vacation. It leaves you more time to get out and enjoy the outdoors first thing after we serve you breakfast in our lodge dining room.
Guides for Fishing
One thing you'll appreciate in saving you extra work is hiring guides for your fishing trips. It's a separate service we provide to help you get the best out of your fishing excursion out on Oak Lake. Using a private boat we provide, your guide shows you which bait works the best for the most successful catches. Guides also help you land some of the walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass that can get quite large.
Even better, you'll learn our catch and release policy to save you time having to do it yourself. Once guides show you how, you'll become skilled at it so you can do it yourself on your next trip.
Guides for Archery Hunting (available in September)
Our guides provide the same service during hunting season in September where they arrange most of the equipment for you, including bait. Your guides work like a personal assistant so you don't have to buy or haul the most essential accessories to our lodge just to partake in hunting.
Nevertheless, the guides intend to educate you along the way and tell you stories about the area to save you time researching it all yourself.

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.
