Our Portage Lakes

For the adventuresome we have ten portage lakes to add to the awesome angling opportunities available at Canada North Lodge. The portage trips are short. The boats and motors are on site, all you need is your gear for the day. The lakes offer excellent Northern Pike, Smallmouth, and Canada walleye fishing. 

Portage Lake Details:

• The lakes are scheduled daily at the lodge to ensure fair distribution to all guests. 
• One portage trip per guest is assured. Additional portage trips can be booked if portage trips are open after the days scheduling. 
• The portage trips are included in our Plan 1 and Plan 2 package price at no additional charge.
• A  daily boat and motor charge will apply for those bringing their own boats and wanting to do a portage trip. We are not charging for the use of the lake - just for the boat, motor and gas which is not included in the Plan 3 package.
• A guide is required for all portage lakes. 

The portage lakes, the species, the number of boats available, and the number of guests allowed per day on these lakes are as follows:

Quartz Lake - CONSERVATION POLICY in effect on this lake - same as on main lake system - the release of all Northern Pike over 27".

R & R Lake is a double portage - our longest portage - with a very good trail - Not a hard portage except for the distance. Total portage is a 1/2 mile walk. Not a big lake at all - just a average size lake that can be fished in one day - round bowl shaped lake - as wide as it is long. No fish are taken out, none are allowed for shore lunch. A box lunch is packed. 2 boats and motors at this location - 4 guests per day.
