Underneath every rate, a lake page anyone can open.

One page for every mapped lake — the water facts, the lodges, and what weeks run, free. Eagle Lake is the showcase: everything paid is switched on, so you can judge it first.

Season Pass

The map is free. The Pass adds the trip-planning tools.

The biggest trip of the year deserves a $50 plan. One payment covers your whole planning season — here is exactly what it unlocks.

The good weeks book a year out. We watch for the cancellations.

Openings Radar reads the lodges' own pages every morning for the water you follow, and emails you when something moves.

  • You follow lakes, not newsletters. Pick your water on the map; we watch every lodge on it.
  • One email when something moves — a week frees up, a price changes, a cancellation posts.
  • Nothing to re-check in August. We keep reading their pages so you don't have to.

Every worked-out rate, side by side in one currency — each lodge's original wording kept, so you can check our arithmetic.

Filters across every lake

One question asked of every mapped lake at once, and every lodge on them.

“walleye and lake trout · road access · under $2,000 · charted depth”

Depth on the map

Charted contours drawn on the map itself, wherever the province has sounded the lake — like the hero's shaded water, everywhere it exists.

Everything above, for a full year. Then it simply expires.

One payment — no subscription, nothing to cancel. The map and every lake page stay free forever; the Pass adds each lodge's exact rates, history and alerts on top.

Prefer flexibility? Annual $39.99 · monthly $7.99 · Founder Lifetime $129 — all on the pass page.
