What to Bring...
To your Wilderness Experience
on Beautiful Lake of the Woods - Canada

• Groceries. 
• Fishing and/or hunting gear.
• A good raincoat.
• Personal care items.
• Sport clothes, and regular attire.
• In summer you will need a bathing suit
• A few warmer clothes for evenings or chilly days.
• In fall you will need some light clothing as well as your insulated wear.
• We suggest you bring a thermos, flashlight and a clock.
• Licenses, bait, tackle, and small necessities are available at our camp store.
• Important Note:The border has become increasingly vigilant for visitors with prior convictions for DUI/DWI infraction along with other minor charges on individual's records. When the Fort Frances/Rainy River Border Office was connected online giving them access the drivers license information on visitors, (because of the gun registration issue) they increased their surveillance on fisherman.
  If you have a prior conviction please call us for more information, we're here to help.

If you do not want to keep all of your fish, handle them with care, use barbless hooks, and be careful with landing nets. We have cradles that you are welcome to use, they will greatly increase the chances the fish will be returned to the water uninjured.

  Hunter orange must cover a minimum of 400 square inches above the waist and be visible from all sides. A hunting coat or vest generally meets this requirement. Hunter orange head cover is also required. Camouflage or open mesh hunter orange does not satisfy this requirement.

The Registration certificate is good for 60 days. If you come back to Canada after 60 days then you must stop at the Canadian Border and pick up a new Registration certificate. There is no charge for this.
  When you leave Canada after hunting, you must stop at the Canadian Customs and show them that you are bringing the same guns back out of the country.
