North Spirit Lake Lodge is a legendary fly‑in fishing destination deep in the boreal wilderness of Northwestern Ontario, located about 110 air miles north of Red Lake and accessible only by plane. Owned and operated by the Nelson family since 1974, this remote lodge blends classic Canadian hospitality with world‑class angling access across hundreds of square miles of pristine waters, including North Spirit Lake, Margot Lake, Trout Lake, and a network of portage lakes that are lightly fished and rich with trophy‑sized fish. Guests enjoy exclusive access to some of the most coveted walleye, northern pike, and lake trout fishing in the province, making North Spirit Lake Lodge a true bucket‑list experience for anglers seeking wilderness, solitude, and the thrill of the catch.
The lodge itself is a classic northwoods retreat with a spacious main lodge lounge where guests can relax, share stories, or enjoy meals prepared on site. Six comfortable log cabins dot the shoreline, each thoughtfully equipped with electric lighting, hot and cold running water, oil heat, showers, flush toilets, and waterfront views, providing modern comforts amid true wilderness adventure. Visitors can choose between the American Plan, with hearty meals and full service included, or the Housekeeping Plan for a more self‑guided stay. Well‑maintained boats and quality motors are provided, along with optional guide services to help both seasoned and novice anglers make the most of every day on the water.
North Spirit Lake Lodge is a true wilderness escape, the only fishing resort on this vast lake system and reachable exclusively by plane. Spread across hundreds of square miles of pristine lakes and rivers, the waters here feel entirely your own, with only 28 guests per week sharing this untouched northern paradise.
