Press Lake Camp

Welcome to Press Lake Camp, a modern fishing and hunting camp one hour north of Ignace in Northwestern Ontario. We offer excellent walleye, northern pike and smallmouth bass fishing on a lake which is 73 miles around and loaded with bays, islands and secluded sand beaches. Our Canadian owned and operated camp is the only tourist resort on this wilderness lake. In fact, there are no other buildings at all on Press Lake - just miles of forest and thousands of fish.

Accommodation -> We have seven housekeeping cabins, fully equipped for your enjoyment. Each has a large deck overlooking the lake with a gas grill for the nights when it's just too hot to cook inside. All cabins have sofas, hot and cold running water, microwaves, flush toilets and showers. Bedding, dishes and cooking utensils are supplied. You bring your food, clothes, bath towels and favorite fishing tackle.

If you prefer to camp, we have a large campground which will accommodate anything from a motor home to a pup tent on 12 sites. We have flush toilets, sinks,showers and freezer storage available for campers but no electricity or water to the sites.

Fishing -> Press Lake Camp is on the famous English River system and that guarantees you excellent walleye, northern pike, whitefish and smallmouth bass fishing. With 73 miles of shoreline and hundreds of islands, Press Lake offers endless fishing adventures for the whole family. Catch your lunch and stop at one of many sand beaches to cook up a walleye feast you'll never forget. Or bring your fish back to camp and use our spotless fish house to clean your catch. You can freeze your fish in your cabin freezer or use one of our community freezers.

When you arrive, we give you a map of the lake and mark the hot spots. Gerry or Ryan can give you advice on where to fish and what's been working that week. You can bring your own boat or rent a 14 or 16 foot boat ( with boat seats) and 15 hp Yamaha from us. We have docks, gas, oil, life jackets - everything you need. We want your trip to our camp to be one you will remember - with pleasure.

Small Game Hunting ->Resident and nonresident grouse (ruffed & spruce) hunts are available beginning Sept 15. Waterfowl season opener varies but is usually in the first two weeks of September. Our road system, the number of rivers flowing in and out of the lake and the lack of competition from other hunters in our area combine to assure you a successful hunt.

Moose Hunting -> Our bow and gun hunters enjoy a phenomenal success rate on the lake and off the roads leading to camp. Contact us for more information. (NOTE: We can only offer moose hunts to residents of Ontario.)

Black Bear Hunting ->Black bear season now opens on August 15. We establish bait stations weeks before your arrival to ensure you will have a choice of active baits to hunt. If you are interested in a bear hunt, either bow or rifle, call us for more details.
