The Lodge is a 42'x36' log building.  Our guests gather here in the evenings in large groups to talk about the days fishing adventures.  There are couches and tables set up for card playing or story telling.  Relax on the deck in the evening to watch the stars or in the morning with your coffee to catch the sunrise.   You will find photo albums and log books dating back to the late 40's when Viking Island was built.

Fishing

When you fly into Viking Island, you are leaving roads behind and entering Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Walleye, Northern, and Lake Trout fishing is excellent here. Douglas is the main lake within a group of deep, small, productive lakes. Onnie, Spider, Peterson, Page, Frank's, Hatchet, Caribou, Embryo, Anchor, and Foley Lakes are all within reach. It is at the top of the watershed flowing east into Red Lake. When you travel to Embryo, you cross into the watershed running west to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba.

 
From Viking Island, there are many directions to go. Each day can be a different adventure. The staff at the island give you plenty of advice but you plan your own trips and drive your own boat. You can fish the main lake for an hour or two and come back to the lodge for lunch. If you prefer an adventure, there are many possibilities. You can boat or canoe up a river, walk a portage, or take an overnight trip.
