Full-Service American Plan Fly-In Lodge For Sale, Trout Lake, Northwestern Ontario
Established in 1965, this full-service American Plan fly-in lodge sits on Trout Lake, a 20-minute floatplane flight from Red Lake, Ontario, within the Trout Lake Conservation Reserve — more than 150,000 acres of protected wilderness. The lake is known for trophy Walleye, trophy Lake Trout, and trophy Northern Pike. The deeded property is being sold fully equipped and operational after nearly six decades under current ownership, with the owners now ready to retire.
Sixteen separate cabins on the property house 2 to 8 guests each, every cabin with a three-piece bathroom and a refrigerator. The log main lodge seats up to 40 guests with a fully equipped modern kitchen and dining area, with 900 feet of walkway and decks overlooking the lodge's long sand beach on Trout Lake.
The dining area opens into a rec room with a fireplace, shuffleboard, pool table, and ample seating — a gathering space for guests after a day on the water. The lodge has internet access and a cell signal booster, supporting both guest connectivity and day-to-day operations. Staff cabins house guides and crew, and the property includes a large screened fish cleaning station, a laundry room, and a workshop.
Bear hunt areas on Trout Lake are included in the sale, adding a second revenue stream alongside the fishing operation. The business is being sold fully equipped and operational — interested buyers should contact the seller directly for a full equipment list and pricing.
Trout Lake sits within the Trout Lake Conservation Reserve, more than 150,000 acres of protected Crown land and water in the boreal forest northeast of Red Lake, Ontario — about a 20-minute floatplane flight away. The lake spans roughly 300 square miles of spring-fed water dotted with hundreds of islands, providing the structure and depth variety that supports its trophy Walleye, Lake Trout, and Northern Pike fishery. Access is fly-in only, keeping the lake free of road traffic and preserving the remote character that draws repeat anglers back year after year.
The lodge is located on Trout Lake, a 20-minute floatplane flight from Red Lake, Ontario — fly-in access only, with no road connection to the property. Red Lake offers commercial air service and the regional services needed to support lodge operations, fuel, and supply runs.
