Strap on your hunting boots and step into the ideal moose habitat. Located in central Ontario, Castlebar Lake Lodge is surrounded by both forests and clear cuts. The many lakes, rivers, and marshes are home to many aquatic plants that moose favor. In Unit 19, a trophy bull moose rack can easily reach 50 to 60 inches. Meanwhile, cow and calf tags create an affordable way to fill a freezer with fresh game. As an Ontario Moose hunting outfitter offering guided hunts, Castlebar Lake Lodge provides easy access to a region with a high concentration of moose.
The area is also home to both ruffled grouse and spruce grouse. While dogs are welcome to stay, they aren’t needed as these birds rarely see humans. Grouse hunting in the area is low-pressure.
The region’s many logging roads allow hunters to ride and hike in with ease. Or, travel by boat to reach wooded shores where moose commonly stop to graze and drink. When not chasing that trophy game, hunters have access to the 3,000+ acre Castlebar Lake for perch, pike, walleye, and brook trout.
At the end of the day, retreat into a warm and dry cabin equipped with a full bathroom and kitchen. Skip the long wait for the showers — there’s no shared bathhouse here. Castlebar’s rustic cabins feature sunrooms with a view of the lake, a large kitchen to eat or play cards together, and overnight generator-provided electricity.
