Loch Island Lodge

Your Wilderness Vacation Awaits You…

Loch Island Lodge is the heartbeat of our establishment on Wabatongushi Lake. This 2.5 acre island is on the wide-open southern end of Wabatongushi Lake.

The lodge originated from a family fishing cabin built in the 1950s; its stone chimney and original log walls are still visible in the updated building today. The log cabins, a blend of historic and modern construction, retain a vintage charm while offering modern conveniences. Loch Island Lodge staff will attend to every need promptly while you immerse yourself in the northern wilderness.

For guests booking the American Plan or Modified Plan, meals are served outside on the deck in good weather. Breakfast is served at 7 AM, Continental Breakfast from 6 AM – 11 AM, and Dinner at 5 PM. Shore lunch is cooked out on the lake every day. Savour our menu of hearty homestyle favourites–– from lasagna to ribs to turkey dinners–– while bald eagles soar over the shoreline and cedar strip boats and float planes depart the docks. Sip your coffee in the morning mist as the sun rises and loons call across the bays. In colder weather, meals are served indoors in our newly renovated dining room, where patio doors provide the same picturesque views. In autumn 2024, we renovated the lodge building to expand our kitchen, and replaced the original kitchen with a sitting area.

Tackle, snacks, and souvenirs are available for purchase in the lodge. Guests from outposts are always welcome to stop by for drinking water, firewood, ice, and Internet access.

While there is no cell reception in the area, there is Starlink internet accessible in the lodge and in the cabins.

The docks are staffed from 6 AM onwards to ensure that boats are fuelled and guests’ fish are filleted and packaged. A fire can be lit in the sauna at your request. Take a kayak or paddle board out to a sheltered spot like Kathleen Bay.

A small island, joined to Loch Island by a boardwalk, is the perfect spot for swimming and sunbathing. At night, it’s the ideal spot to gather around a campfire to stargaze and wait for the breathtaking northern lights. In late July and August, it’s a prime spot to cast for prize walleye. Loch Island is a short boat ride away from the dam feeding Glasgow Lake, one of our portage lakes, and Loch Lomond.

All cabins have hot and cold running water, internet reception, and heat. All linens and towels are included. A generator runs 24/7, making Loch Island Lodge an ideal choice for guests who need to power electric medical devices. Wooden boardwalks join the cabins to the lodge building and the docks, providing easier footing and wagon transport for luggage and firewood. Housekeeping staff can add a roll-away cot to any cabin upon request.

Depending on the number of people in your group, we will distribute the group between several cabins.

The Duplex Cabin (Cabin #4, #5)

This cabin, split into two mirrored units, is tucked behind the lodge building. Both sides can be shared by one group, or reserved by separate groups. A common deck provides a place to gather, or to grill dinner. Each unit has a bedroom with 2 twin beds and 1 double bed. Each bathroom features a full bathtub, toilet, and sink. The cabins are heated by propane wall units, so there is no need to stack firewood in a wood stove. The kitchens are fully outfitted for guests who wish to cook their own meals. We recommend this cabin for couples or individuals, or as additional accommodations for a group that is centred in a larger cabin.

The Honeymoon Cabin (Cabin #6)

This cabin, nicknamed “the honeymoon cabin” from its first days as a small one-room cabin, now sleeps 4 guests. There are two bedrooms, each featuring a twin bed and a double bed. The kitchen and dining room face a deck which overlooks the lake and is shaded by trees. The cabin is heated by both a wood stove and a propane wall unit. The cabin is central on the island and a close walk over to the lodge. We recommend this cabin for couples and smaller groups.
