About

After an exciting day of fishing, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff and the warm, relaxing atmosphere of our Moose Point Lodge. Enjoy delicious home-cooked meals complete with prime steaks, homemade bread, turkey with all the fixings, hearty breakfasts – some say they come just for the food! We also offer a guide service that will professionally prepare your shore lunch.

There are five refreshingly modern and well-kept lakefront guest cabins on a beautiful sand beach next to the lodge. It’s a great swimming beach, and many guests also enjoy our wood-fired sauna. Come experience genuine hospitality and the ultimate in Northwood’s comfort at Moose Point Lodge.

Shikag Lake

Shikag Lake offers more than 130 miles of remote scenic shoreline. With an average depth of 20 feet, the lake has no large deep sections where fish can hide. Making it one of the best places in the world for fishing walleyes, northerns, and smallmouth bass.

As you fly into Moose Point Lodge, you will see why our many previous guests consider our location “a sparkling gem” in the beautiful Canadian wilderness. The rustic log exterior of Moose Point lodge opens to a warm and comfortable setting that invites guests back after a day on the water or in the wilderness.

Catch & Consume

Moose Point has taken a proactive approach to fisheries management of Shikag lake. A conservation program was implemented 6 years ago which required the release of all northern over 27″ and walleye over 18″. At that time 2 fish of each species were allowed to be taken home under the size limit.For the last two years Moose Point has moved to a catch and consume program.

This means you can eat fish while at Shikag, but can not take any home and have afforded all bass over 16″ release protection as well.

The possession limit remains 2 fish per species. We believe this is the best way to develop and maintain the full potential of this great trophy lake.

American Plan Lodging

The five guest cabins next to the Moose Point Lodge range from 2 to 4 bedrooms and 1 to 2 full bathrooms, with living rooms and kitchens, fridges, propane range and water heaters, wood-burning stoves, large decks and 24 hour generated electricity. We even have campwide wireless high speed Internet access via satellite for those who can’t bear to keep their laptop at home and want to stay in touch with family. Delicious home cooked meals at the Lodge are included with the American Plan.

Light Housekeeping Cabins

Light housekeeping packages are available in four of our cabins, which have all the amenities you need to be comfortable, including fully equipped kitchens, and hot showers. Bedrooms are separate from living room / kitchen areas.

Outpost Cabins on Shikag Lake

Our outpost cabins are more secluded, located within a few miles of our main lodge, but are still on beautiful Shikag Lake. Two have sand beaches and sleep six to eight people. The third outpost is located on a private island and sleeps eight.

To accommodate the main activity of the week — fishing — the outposts are outfitted with 16 foot boats with floors and 15 hp motors. The cabins are equipped with solar lights, hot and cold running water, indoor showers, propane water heaters, fridges, ranges and grills.

Testimonials:

Just a short note to thank you and your staff for our great trip of last June. I am a part of the Capozzi - Towns - Hill group. We had perhaps the finest trip I've experienced in the eight consecutive years I've fished in Ontario. This was my Son's second trip. The fish in the picture is his largest walleye. This fish was 27 1/2 inches. He lost a bigger one later in the week.
What amazed me was that eleven of thirteen of our group caught walleyes this big or bigger. The largest of the week was 31 inches, almost matching the 32 inch walleye caught last year at Moose Point by our group.
My hat is off to you, catch and consume is producing a phenomenal fishery! In retrospect I regret only that with so many PIG WALLEYES and acrobatic smallmouth bass that we failed to target Shikag Lake's northern pike. Anyway a hearty thank you to you and your staff for the twinkle in my eye that is certain to last until we again visit "the only place where time slows down" Moose Point Lodge.
-- A Happy Guest
