Lost Lake Wilderness Lodge is a small lodge situated in the vast forest of Northern Ontario and is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of our natural resources.  Guests enjoy conservation or catch and release fishing, interpretative trails, wildlife viewing, bird watching, flora and fauna and all that the living forest has to offer.

Our philosophy is simple.  Use but do not abuse the natural resources.  We provide clean full facility private cottages in a gorgeous wilderness setting with all the opportunity to relax and enjoy the living forest.

A Little Bit About The Area And The Lodge

You're probably wondering where we are and what we have to offer? Lost Lake is between the towns of Elk Lake and Gowganda in Northern Ontario's eastern reaches. About a 6 1/2 hour drive north of Toronto. Up here the air is clean, the people friendly and best of all there's no traffic.

The lodge and cottages are located along 1200 feet of wooded shoreline of Lost Lake, hence our name. The summer months lend themselves to endless hours of enjoyment swimming in our clean waters, hiking wilderness trails, exploring everything from old mines to the most remote trout lakes. The main activity is fishing for that trophy that's eluded you all your life. The Spring and Fall are very special. The air is crisp and the colours are spectacular.

Whether you're a sportsman, or a family looking for that perfect getaway, we hope you'll let Lost Lake provide your memories of a lifetime.

Some Great Reasons to Choose Lost Lake For Your Next Holiday

At Lost Lake all our cottages offer a great view of the lake. With 10 lakes ready to be fished right from your doorstep, and almost zero public access, it is easy to see how peace is part of Lost Lake’s appeal. Equipment is
available for our guests only. Your privacy is assured.

At Lost Lake you can fish right off the docks. They are
large and safe and great fun for adults and kids alike.
A pleasant break from boating.

Tired of fishing, there is lots to do at Lost Lake. Hiking and exploring along interpretive marked trails is invigorating and a great learning experience too. Visit deserted silver mines or drive along old winding bush roads. For the hardy, climb a mountain to a lookout point overlooking Lost Lake. "Look Mom, I can see our cottagefrom here!"

Salt licks for moose along with bear feeding stations are maintained to enhance your photographic chances of capturing these magnificent wild animals. Want to go howling for wolves? We will teach you how and show you where to go. Be careful though, their eerie answer will send shivers down your spine.

Hummingbird feeders and nesting stations bring a wide variety of birds right outside your cabin door. Birds that are never seen in the south are common here.

Wild berry picking draws pie lovers. Things to do are only limited by your own imagination. Of course, besides fishing the most popular thing to do is nothing but looking and listening……. Aaaaaah, Lost Lake!

Other Things To Do

Challenge your friends to a game of horseshoes. Nothing can compare to curling up in the front of a boat with a good book while the waves gently rock you into slumber land. Don’t worry about being rudely awakened by the maddening crowd because there isn’t any at Lost Lake. Although a large bass leaping into the air after a bug and splashing 2 feet away from the sleeping soul can be a bit of a rude awakening. Somehow up here it seems almost ok.

Swimming happens off the large docks with the water being around 10 – 12  feet deep. Or, a short walk takes you to a large sandy bottomed access with no weeds or yucky spots. A great place to frolic with the deepest place at about 5 feet. Water temperatures usually reach comfortable swimming temperatures by mid June and stay quite warm until the middle of September.

Within an hours drive you can enjoy an 18 hole golf course or spend an afternoon exploring the many antique stores rich with Northern Ontario treasures. There are several small museums to visit including one in Gowganda that features mining from the past and one in Elk Lake which is dedicated to the preservation of the early history of Elk Lake. There are railway museums, homesteader’s museums and even a small zoo. "Saddle up Partner" Drive 1/2 hour to Elk Lake and enjoy a day of horseback riding with an experienced trail guide.  All of this and more within an hours drive.

Remember: "Leave nothing behind except your footprints"
