Wilderness Vacationing at its best!

The Outpost Lodge. A classic 1938 fishing resort, fully restored and equipped for outfitting sportsmen and providing memorable family vacations in the Cambrian Shield Wilderness.

You'll have a pleasant vacation here with us. It can be a lazy one, or an active one—just as you wish. There is so much to see and do. We will help you lay out your daily activities, whether you're looking for a fishing trip, a trail trip, or a wandering road trip.

We have no set schedule. Each evening or morning we get together with you. We'll try to make your stay here so pleasant that you'll come back again and again.

We're located in the Laurentian Highlands, in the valley of the Mississagi River (Ottawa Indian meaning 'large outlet').

The Outpost Lodge has a magnificent location high atop a 50' bluff overlooking Lake Jobamageeshig, a crystal clear, spring-fed lake. It includes the main lodge with dining room, great room, craft/games room, and a library, seven full-service, private cottages, a sandy beach and boat launch on 6 acres of well-wooded forest.

The Outpost Lodge will be your hub for many activities, all free for you to enjoy at your own pace!

A Camp For Sportsmen& Families

This is Not, primarily, a fishing camp. It is a vacation resort in the true sense of the word. It is in a magnificent location, and planned to give a service to those seeking something unusually good yet affordable. It has every modern comfort and convenience even though it's in a wilderness setting. The Lodge and cottages have automatic heat and electricity as well a modern water and sewage system.

A Country For Adventure

More and more families are coming to the OUTPOST, there is so much to do. There is a white sand beach, plenty of shallow water for small children and deep water for the experts. There are miles and miles of shoreline on the four home lakes, with something new around every bend. There are colour pictures everywhere. Wildflowers grow in profusion, there are places for shoreline dinners. Trails lead to the high hills, heron rookeries, streams, waterfalls, and to other lakes.

The Chapleau Highway extends north for 150 miles. There are many side roads to lakes, streams, lumber camps and saw mills. There are roads that offer unusual scenery and offer opportunities to see deer, moose, foxes, beaver, otter and other wildlife.

The OUTPOST Lodge is much more than a hotel. It's truly a place for a family vacation, something different, unusual yet with all the comforts.

There is colour everywhere...in the water, the sky, the trees, and the flowers. It is such a pleasant place that one relaxes without any effort.
