Carpenter Lake Cabins provides comfortable accommodations for snowmobilers, ice fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts during our winter open-season, which is typically the mid to latter part of February. During this time, the fully winterized cabins provide a warm and comfortable respite from the elements. Bedding and cooking and dining utensils are provided. The sauna is operational and available to guests each evening.

In addition to ice fishing, snowmobiling or trail riding is the main winter activity. Carpenter Lake is situated on a groomed club trail D106, which can be accessed at Echo Bay to the west and Highway 129 to the east. See trail maps and reports on trail conditions and costs of a trail permit at www.ofsc.on.ca. Be sure to bring along snowshoes or cross country skis to explore the hiking trails and the land and lakes in winter.

During the winter, the road to Carpenter Lake is normally snow packed and groomed as a snowmobile trail. Guests need to have a snowmobile to travel 18 km to the lodge and also for local trips. You also need to bring your own food, fishing equipment and bait, suitable clothing for both outdoor and indoor use and personal items such as a towel and soap. You may need a sleight to bring your supplies to the camp. Fuel is available.

Please contact us prior to your trip regarding the time that we are open in winter, the availability of cabins and details such as parking and snow conditions.
