Where
is Wabatongushi Lake?
Our
lodges are located 200 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
on Wabatongushi
Lake. The lake is set in the southwest portion of the Chapleau
Crown Game Preserve, which at almost 2 million acres is the worlds
largest.
Camp
Lochalsh sits at the far south end of the lake, while Loch Island
is five miles north. Otter Island and Sandy Bay are approximately
a mile north of Camp Lochalsh.
Please
note that private boats are not permitted at our camps. Non-resident
camping is prohibited by law on Wabatongushi
Lake.
Getting
there is half the fun!
When
you choose to visit Camp Lochalsh or Loch Island Lodge, the fun
will start before you get there! Our lodges are accessible by
float plane, rail, or logging road!

PLANE
Float
Plane guests drive to the rail town of Hawk Junction, just
east of Wawa, and board a genuine bushplane, piloted by
a legendary Canadian bush pilot for a breathtakingly scenic
20-minute ride directly to our dock. |
TRAIN
Rail
guests can choose to arrive via the famous Algoma
Central Railway or Canadian
Pacific Railway.
ACR
guests can board the train in Sault Ste. Marie or Hawk Junction,
then disembark in the old ghost town of Goudreau. From there,
it's only 12 miles away down gravel and two-track roads,
past working and abandoned gold mines, and through the Manitou
Mountain Conservation Reserve to Camp Lochalsh.
CPR
guests can board the Budd car in either White River or Missanabie,
and get off at the Lochalsh stop. |

AUTOMOBILE
If
you choose to go as far as you can" by road,
your journey will take you through the French Canadian lumber
town of Dubreuilville. Camp Lochalsh guests can drive all the way into camp, with detailed directions provided by us. The trip into Camp Lochalsh will wind through gravel roads, past working and abandoned gold mines and down the last 6 miles of "two track" directly to Camp Lochalsh.
Loch
Island guests will traverse a private 20 mile gravel logging
road through the Chapeau Crown Game Preserve to the narrows
of the lake. From there we will be waiting to transport
you via boat the remaining 7 miles down the lake to Loch
Island. |
