The Algoma Central
is by far the most famous railroad in Northern Ontario. One of
the last railroads in North America that offers flag stops,
its tracks span from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst through some of
the most rugged landscape in the world. Internationally renowned
for its spectacular scenery and famous Agawa Canyon, this journey
from the Sault to our pick up point in the old ghost town of Goudreau
is sure to impress even the most seasoned train enthusiast.
Your journey
begins in Sault Ste. Marie at the Algoma Central train depot in
front of Station Mall. From there you will board the ACR's passenger
rail service and head north. Some 5 hours later, you will arrive
in the old ghost town of Goudreau where we will be waiting. At
this point, your journey is only just beginning! After departing
Goudreau on our shuttle bus, we will traverse 15 miles of unmarked
gravel and "two-track" roads, past working and abandoned
gold mines, through the Manitou Mountain Conservation Reserve,
cross the Canadian Pacific Railway into the Chapleau Crown Game
Preserve, and finally stop at Camp Lochalsh. Along the way, you
are likely to see a Moose, Black Bear, or Timber Wolf!
You will depart
the Sault on the passenger rail train at 9:20 am. When you get
to Goudreau at 3:40 pm,. we will pick you up and transport your
group to Camp Lochalsh. From there you will enjoy our full American
Plan package for two full nights! When it's time to head back
south, we will take you back to Goudreau for your journey back
to civilization!

The other popular
way to reach our lodges is by taking the Candian Pacific Railway
from either White River or Missanabie to the Lochalsh stop.
Located just 1/4 mile from Camp Lochalsh, the old ghost town
of Lochalsh is serviced by a CRP "Budd" car every
day except Monday.
One of the
last CPR passenger rail services left in Canada, the White River/Sudbury
run is considered a "lifeline" for many remote communties
in the north. During the summer months, this line is utilized
by fishermen and hunters as well as locals in remote communities.
