Located in Northeastern Ontario, Lake Temagami is one of the province’s most distinctive wilderness fishing and cottage destinations. The lake is known for its clear water, rugged shoreline, large islands and extensive network of bays and channels.
Unlike many Southern Ontario resort lakes, a large portion of Lake Temagami’s accommodations are located on islands and are accessible primarily by boat. That creates a more remote experience while still offering established housekeeping cottages, family lodges, fishing camps and boat rentals.
Fishing opportunities include lake trout, walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, whitefish and speckled trout.
