Chaudiere Lodge is located on an island in Ontario's legendary Upper French River. Just 4 1/2 hours north of Toronto by car. Over 80 miles long, the French connects Lake Nipissing, one of Ontario's premier walleye fisheries, to Lake Huron's Georgian Bay. Lake Nipissing is over 50 miles long by 20 miles wide with the Upper French occupying over 20 miles of great fishing. Including the bays and inlets, this portion of the French reaches widths of 5 to 6 miles and does not appear to be a river at all but resembling instead a large lake with numerous islands and no discernible current. You can spend weeks exploring the Upper French and never fish the same place twice. The lodge is open from the third Saturday in May until mid-September. The 2008 season will be offering 2 special weeks. Special week #1 May 11 through May 17. Special week #2 Labor Day long weekend. See our "2008 - Special Weeks" web page (Click Here).

Come to a place that many call home
for one or two weeks each summer...

...in a place where you will take home
memories that you will cherish for a lifetime!

   The site of Chaudiere Lodge has been a fishing camp since 1905 when visitors camped out in tents. Today Chaudiere Lodge is a 17 acre Resort with 14 Cottages and a Main Lodge which houses a Dining Room, professionally-equipped commercial kitchen, and a lounge area that overlooks the water. We only entertain a maximum of 44 guests at a time.

Chaudiere Lodge enjoys a great history of fishing in a unique near-wilderness river, and of new friends and experiences. A tradition of unforgettable memories of your time spent outdoors and on the lakes and rivers in our wild part of Northern Ontario.

Chaudiere Lodge has been designated a "Resort of International Distinction" by Resorts Condominiums International (RCI) for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. In 2006 and 2007, the resort was awarded the Silver Crown Resort designation.
