Trains or Planes?

If you've ever had a fly-in experience, you know it offers you quick access to remote locations — but it does have its limitations. Weight restrictions and cash are two big ones. The reality is that flying isn't as expensive as a lot of people think, but in tough economic times, it might be expensive enough to put that dream trip on hold for another year. You shouldn't have to wait. We have a solution.

Our lodge is located at the historic site of the former Hudson Bay outpost of Allanwater Bridge. Easy, inexpensive access from Via Rail puts a different twist on traditional fly-in transportation. Load your coolers and fishing gear onto the baggage car from any number of centrally located pick-up points, and you'll be delivered literally, right to our front door.

The journey is remarkable as well! The Via Rail is a coast to coast passenger train, and is filled with eclectic characters from all corners of the globe. Your front row seat will cut through aboriginal forest and boulder strewn lakes while you anxiously anticipate the smell of fresh fish on your fingertips. When it's time to go home, your trip is capped with another unique experience that so few have had the opportunity to enjoy.

You can even mix it up and fly one way if you want the best of both worlds. It’s tough to beat the feeling you get when that Beaver or Otter cranks up the rpm’s and you lift off over the vast Ontario wilderness. It truly is a special experience. Now, all you have to do is choose. When it’s all said and done, both are great options and both will get you here, which is what’s really important. Give us a call and we’ll work some numbers up for you.
