Atikwa Lake Lodge specializes in a secluded Canadian wilderness fishing experience in uncrowded, unspoiled waters featuring abundant lake trout and trophy northern pike action plus walleye and Muskie fishing on nearby portage lakes.

Flying from our Nestor Falls, Ontario departure base is an enjoyable experience and you will be amazed by the scenic beauty of our island location in the middle of breathtaking Atikwa Lake. Loons, eagles, moose and bear provide a wildlife backdrop you will long remember. Many of our guests return year after year as much for the quiet scenic beauty as for the excellent fishing.
