Remote Fishing & Hunting Lodge For Sale — Shenango Lake, Ontario
Shenango Lake Lodge is a fully operational remote fishing and hunting camp located on a private 3-acre deeded peninsula on Shenango Lake, approximately 25 miles northwest of Foleyet in Northern Ontario. The lodge sits in the middle of the lake — the only commercial operation on the water — with access to several additional surrounding lakes that have no competing lodges.
This is a turnkey operation with 90% repeat clientele. All buildings have been rebuilt with steel roofs. The camp runs entirely on solar power, with each cabin operating its own independent solar system for lights and refrigeration. Fifteen Yamaha outboard motors, six new Yamaha G3 14-foot deep-V boats, and a work boat are all included. The owner is selling after a long career in the business and is ready to retire — no deferred maintenance, no rebuilding needed.
The lodge has built a loyal client base over its operating history — 90% of guests return year after year. That kind of repeat business is rare in this sector and speaks directly to the quality of the fishing, the setting, and the operation itself. For a buyer stepping into this property, you're not starting from scratch on marketing or clientele development. You're inheriting a proven book of business.
The camp is solar-powered throughout, which eliminates generator fuel costs and reduces ongoing operating expenses. Each of the four guest cabins runs independently on its own solar system — a design that simplifies maintenance and keeps the guest experience comfortable without reliance on a central power plant.
The vendor is 68 years old and selling to retire. All buildings are in operating condition with no rebuilding required. A detailed chattels list will be provided to qualified buyers upon request.
