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'); one of the last frontiers of the wilderness.
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!

Many of the bedrooms are fitted with twin bedsothers have double beds. Linens and plenty of blankets are provided.
There is daily maid service available throughout the camp. Everything is kept spotlessly clean and comfortable. It is truly a beautiful camp.
 Trail Lunches
Many of our guests go off on trail trips to other fishing waters and to scenic spots, searching for wildflowers, sitting out to watch for wildlife, climbing the high hills for unusual pictures, getting back to lumber mills and wood operations...or just getting away on adventure trips. For these folks we pack delicious trail lunches: something to make the day's trip just a little more pleasant. You'll like this service.
Family-Style Meals
The meals are a topic of pleasant conversation. You become our "home" guest and we feed you well. You are served family-style at your private table—and you get all you want to eat—no one goes away hungry from our tables. You get home baked breads—hot breads,cookies, cakes, pies and desserts. The cheery dining room is just off the big living room where most everyone gathers in front of the stone fireplace to rest in deep comfortable chairs after a hearty meal.
 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.
 A Stop on a Road Trip
Leo, Ron and the crew from FISH TV were at it again, fishing in Ontario's paradise, The Algoma Country. The road trip started out at the Outpost Lodge located in beautiful Mississaugai Valley. A number of things stood out, the food from their own cook book, to the accommodations, to the fantastic walleye and pike fishing. This is a place you have to experience to really appreciate it. - Leo Stakos and Ron James, Fish TV |
