Slippery Winds
Wilderness Lodge
Located On Yoke Lake, Northwestern Ontario
Slippery Winds Wilderness Lodge is a remote, yet accessible, American-Plan fishing lodge located only 38 air miles north of Fort Frances, ON.
The lodge is located in a sheltered bay at the east end of Yoke Lake.
Slippery Winds is the only lodge on Yoke Lake, or any of the other five lakes to which we have access.
In addition to Yoke Lake, which offers angling for six species of sport fish – walleye, largemouth & smallmouth bass, muskie, northern pike and lake trout; guests have the opportunity to fish Straw Lake, Sucan Lake, Bluffpoint Lake, Crossroute Lake and Sullivan Lake.
Yoke Lake is home to all six species. Straw Lake and Sucan Lake hold walleye, smallmouth & largemouth bass and northern pike, while the three portage lakes – Bluffpoint, Crossroute and Suillivan, all hold
largemouth bass, lake trout and northern pike.
The lodge accommodates 18 guests in five, fully-modern guest cabins. Power is provided by diesel generators.
Guests fly into the lodge from Fort Frances. Supplies, fuel, etc are brought in from Fort Frances via highway 502 and the Cedar Narrows logging road to a boat landing and then barged 5 miles across a lake to the lodge site.
The lodge has boat cache permits for Straw Lake, Bluffpoint Lake,
Crossroute Lake and Sullivan Lake.
There is a “back dock” on Straw Lake, which is authorized by a Land Use Permit
