Route Lake Lodge - The Only Resort on the Lake

Discover Route Lake Lodge – Your Wilderness Escape

Tucked away in the heart of the Canadian wilderness, Route Lake Lodge offers an exclusive retreat like no other. As the only resort on the lake, our boat-in access ensures a private, tranquil getaway surrounded by untouched nature, crystal-clear waters, and the haunting call of the loon. Whether you're seeking the thrill of the outdoors or the peace of remote solitude, Route Lake Lodge delivers an experience that's as unforgettable as it is rejuvenating.

Every cabin at Route Lake Lodge is situated right on the water, offering stunning views and immediate access to the pristine lake. Each features 24-hour electricity powered by a combination of solar and generator energy, along with running water and full bathrooms – comforts rarely found in such a remote setting. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel right at home, with everything you need to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Our lake is renowned for world-class fishing. Cast your line in waters teeming with northern pike, walleye, and lake trout – all just steps from your door. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, bear hunting opportunities are also available through licensed guides who know the terrain like the back of their hand.

Evenings at Route Lake Lodge are unforgettable. Picture yourself gathered around a fire as the sun sets over the still waters, loons echoing across the lake, stars stretching endlessly overhead. It's a place that invites reflection, connection, and adventure.

What truly sets Route Lake Lodge apart is the sense of returning to something real. No crowds, no traffic – just you, the water, the woods, and the wildlife. Many of our guests come for the first time expecting a one-time escape, only to return year after year, drawn back by the magic that only true wilderness can offer.

Whether you're a seasoned outdoorsman or just looking to unplug, Route Lake Lodge is the kind of place that gets under your skin – in the best way. Come see for yourself why Route Lake is more than just a destination; it's a tradition in the making.
