Activities
World Class Bass FishingFeel the exhilaration of a Large or Smallmouth Bass on the end of your line. Crooked Lake was stocked with Largemouth Bass decades ago and has very little fishing pressure as we practice Catch and Release; therefore, the abundant Bass have reached record weights in Crooked Lake, with tournament size fish up to 7 pounds having been caught.

Breathtaking PhotographyCrooked Lake Wilderness Lodge is in the heart of the 35,500 hectare, Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands; one of the most diverse and least disturbed natural areas found in Central Ontario. Containing more than 50 landform vegetation patterns, these wildlands have limited or no recent history of logging. The spectacular Canadian Shield with low-rolling topography, rocky outcrops, and treed natural shorelines are reminiscent of Group of Seven paintings. As well, there is abundant avian and wildlife, making it a Photographer's heaven. |
