Esnagami Wilderness Lodge

On Esnagami Lake

Fly-in-only fishing lodge on Esnagami Lake north of Nakina, Ontario, reached by a 15-minute float plane flight from the Nakina dock in a De Havilland Otter or Cessna Caravan. Guests fish northern pike, walleye and native brook trout on a lake with about 120 miles of shoreline and 200 islands, using 18-foot cedar strip boats with 9.9 HP motors; the lodge runs a catch-and-release trophy program and offers guided lake and river trips. Both American Plan and housekeeping packages are sold from log cabins with private bathrooms and electricity, plus a separate two-cabin fly-in outpost camp on the Esnagami River about 25 miles away.
