Our Location
Our seaplane base in Armstrong is located at the end of
Highway 527, 145 miles north of Thunder Bay in Ontario. You
can drive directly to our seaplane base.

 Commercial
flights are available to Thunder Bay. Air Canada and Northwest Airlines
flights from most US cities can be arranged through various travel
agencies who specialize in special "fish" fares. When
calling you must tell them you are flying to Thunder Bay and plan
to visit a Mattice Lake Outfitters lodge. Please
contact us for more information.
Armstrong has
a 4530 foot asphalt strip for those arriving on private aircraft.
We have 2 overnight
guest cabins at the seaplane base for those arriving the day prior
to flying to the lodge.
Flights
To The Lodge
You
will fly to and from the lodge in one of our deHavilland Beaver
or Turbo Otter Seaplanes. This is a very pleasant
flight lasting approximately 40 minutes during which time you will
have the opportunity to view the spectacular scenery Wabakimi Park
has to offer and possibly see moose feeding in the smaller lakes
along our route. Incidentally the deHavilland Beaver which was
first built in Canada in 1948 is considered one of Canada's 10
largest engineering achievements.
Baggage
Allowance
We allow 150 lbs. of baggage per person. Any overages are flown
in later no extra charge. All gear should be packed to accommodate
air travel. Small containers are better than large or heavy ones
that are difficult to load in airplanes. Many of the very large
fishing rod tubes will not fit in the aircraft baggage compartments.
Communications
There is a radio on site to ensure your safety and
to allow you to request items you wish to be flown in that you
may have forgotten or are running short of. Satellite phones are
also available on a rental basis.
