A Wonderful Time - L. B. Keller O.D., Osceola, AR

As usual our group had a wonderful time. I have been coming up to fish with you for fifteen years! What else can I say. Looking forward to this year. I might add that I have seen great fishing getting better every year. I really commend you for your conservation efforts. Thanks for all of the years.

We Can Hardly Wait - Larry and Diane Porter - White Hall, Arkansas

When we booked our second trip to Canada North Lodge, we had no idea that trip two could be any better than our first visit. We were in for a surprise! The accommodations, quality of food, service, guides and even the bus ride were just as great and pleasurable as our first trip, but it was the quality and quantity of fish caught that just blew our minds!

During our 4 days of fishing we caught 132 walleye and 32 northern pike. Seven of the pike ranged from 31" to 42" in length. Within two hours one morning we caught 3 northern pikes measuring 40", 41" and 42" while fishing on one of the many beautiful portage lakes.

Do we plan to go back? You bet! We can hardly wait!

Great For a Business Group Outing - Richard R Bolda - Vice President of M&I Northern Bank - Brookfield, WI

Our bank has conducted outings at Canada North Lodge for several years. Part of our itinerary is to conduct business meetings during our stay. We have found the accommodations to be excellent for both the business and pleasure portions of our trips. Many of our guests have been amazed at the quality of the lodge in its wilderness location. The staff including Mike and Julie, guides, cooks and housekeeping have always gone out of their way to ensure an enjoyable stay. I would recommend Canada North Lodge to any business planning a group outing.

This Lodge is a Wonderland - Ross E. Cornett

I have visited Canada North Lodge a couple of times now. Once my wife and I went to the outpost for a week. We had a great time. We spent some very quiet time and great fishing together. That many days of fishing without interruption was incredible. Unfortunately, it was so quiet, we missed our kids and had to leave a day early. As for the vacation time, it was unbeatable. Our vacation was a memorable one.

Another trip I went their with my family of 5. My boys were 3, 7, and 11. They all had a great time. My wife and I fished in our boat with my 3 year old. While Bob, one of the guides, catered to every need of my 7 and 11 year old. Our whole family voted that trip the best vacation ever. We can't wait to do it again. The memories that we have to share from that trip bring us so much joy. It was absolutely AWESOME!... They all talk of going back. We have a change jar now, that all change left on the counter is collected and goes to that fund. The Canada Fund. P.S. They also learned that fishing in Canada is nothing like fishing in Illinois.

Then on another hunting trip, I went with my buddy Louis Robbins. We hunted black bear. What some would consider work, we enjoyed. We were able to go on all the baiting trips to see the sites that were hit with our own eyes. We had a great time and enjoyed the experience totally. Louis got his bear with a bow and I got mine with a muzzle loader 50 cal. I caught a trophy northern pike too. The food and staff are top notch here. This is something that I would do again and again. This lodge is a wonderland.

An Unforgettable Trip - Terry Miller - Godfrey, IL

Once again you provided an unforgettable trip. The entire group had a great time and plans to return in June. The problem now is we have more people who want to go when we go. We may just have to fill the lodge with our friends and family. We caught so many good fish we had a hard time remembering how big they actually were. Once again THANK YOU and your staff. Everyone did a great job taking care of our group. See you this winter, making plans for next year already.

The Food and Service Were Great - Judith Lien - Rapid City, South Dakota

Just a short note to tell you what a wonderful time we had at Canada North Lodge. The food and service were great. Also I must compliment you on the guides. They were so nice to the kids. Thank you again for the wonderful time - you have a very special place.

Highly Recommended - Donald Hale - Tulsa, OK

I have been going to Canada North Lodge for almost 15 years now. When I think of fishing Canada, I think of Canada North Lodge. I think of the great shore lunches, the great food at camp, the personalized service, oh, and the great fishing. When I go to Canada North Lodge I gain weight; sleep the best I have in a long while, and catch fish so much it spoils you. When I come home to fish, I am frustrated because I can’t pull up and start catching fish like they do at CNL. I would (and have) highly recommend fishing Canada. Go to CANADA NORTH LODGE!!!

Memorable, Fantastic, Super - Dick Wynant - Surprise, AZ

Memorable - Fantastic - Super - and any other adjectives that are befitting to a wonderful 4 day fishing experience. This unforgettable trip was enhanced by your competent staff of guides, waitresses, cabin girls, cook and kitchen aides. Guides were knowledgeable with respect to the many lakes and were diligent in their efforts to locate fish and worked hard on the 2 portages we were treated to. The dining room waitresses responded politely to our every request, and made dining a pleasure. The family style meals prepared by the cooks were plentiful and sumptuous. We appreciated our catch being properly filleted, individually wrapped, and species identified and frozen, ready to take home. Fishing was g-r-r-r-eat! I caught the largest fish of my life. My son caught the largest fish of his life; the other son caught the most fish of his life. The 10 year old grandson enjoyed catching fish and a huge 31" Northern. This trip will be remembered by Spencer all of his life. What a bonding family occasion this was!

Excellent Food - Bill and Barbara Clarke - Sand Springs, Oklahoma

Friendliness and Professionalism - Dave Downey - West Lafeyette, IN

Just got our photo’s developed. What fun to relive some of the experiences at Canada North Lodge. I cannot tell you how much fun we had. Great people, great scenery, great fishing, great food and great weather. You had it all for us. We especially enjoyed the friendliness and professionalism of your staff. That is what made it very special. We had fish for dinner last night - very good - but nothing compared to the shore lunch. You have made some real fans here and I hope we can come back again.

Dave Downey - West Lafeyette, IN

Thoughtful and Caring - Bob and Joy Case - Bartlesville, Oklahoma

Fantastic Trip - Patrick Gregory - Oklahoma City, OK

From the moment we arrived at the lodge, the new owner Chance, his wife and his staff made us feel welcome and part of the family. The cabins are very clean and comfortable, the scenery is simply fantastic! Best fishing of my life, our guide, Pete has been at Canada North for almost 45 years. He is a great guy who really knows his fish and how to take care of his guests – He cooked us great shore lunches and took great care of us every step of the way – couldn’t have asked for a better fishing guide! When the day of fishing was over we returned to the lodge for fantastic, home cooked meals. From the cooked to order breakfast in the morning to the family style dinners in the evening, the ladies at Canada North Lodge know how to cook – FANTASTIC FOOD! This trip is the only time I can say I was actually sore from catching so many fish! CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK AGAIN!!!

Special Fishing Trip - George Gregory - Owasso, OK

30 years later and even better! I would never have thought that after 30 years of remembering the best fishing trip of my life I would return to Canada North Lodge in July of 2018 and have an even better experience the second time around- but I did! The new owner, Chance, his wife and staff know how to run a lodge! We were met as we arrived, the staff helped us unload the truck and everyone made us feel welcome from that first moment until our last. The cabins are very clean, the lodge is comfortable and the scenery is unbeatable. The meals were incredible! Home cooked breakfast, shore lunch of fresh fish and dinners better that most restaurants serve- and all served with a smile and laughter- doesn’t get any better than that.
This is the only time I’ve ever been able to say I got tired of catching so many fish, and that was thanks to the best fishing guide in Canada – Pete. He knows how to take care of fishermen in his boat and make a fishing trip very special!
I would recommend Canada North Lodge to anyone!!

Great Value, Great Location! - Cliff Gronemeyer

Great value, great location, truly end of the road and off the beaten path for a drive in. Chain is 50 miles long and at most there may be 50 boats in the system at any time. True wilderness experience. Chance is a great new owner and great facility. Heading back again this year!

Truly Picturesque Canada Fishing Experience - Brian Votava

3 day trip- our boat caught upwards of 100 fish/day. Caught 43" pike. What more can you ask for? Well how about excellent service from Chance the owner, Susan and Jocelyn the lodge staff, and Wayne, Pete, Andy, Chris- all great guides. I have a somewhat different take on the cabins than the previous reviewer- while they're admittedly simple, they're very clean and "nice enough" they felt completely adequate for the trip. You have to pay close attention to the directions they provided for the drive-in (that 40 mile logging road) but the directions are accurate. The lodge is nice, breakfasts and dinners made-to-order were great, and the property has a few nice spots to relax and enjoy a beer when the day is done. Truly a picturesque Canadian fishing experience.
