I am 13 years old and very impateint and I bore easily. But for all of you kids out there, you will love it up there. A tipical day for me goes like this: wake up, eat breakfast in my cabin, go fish till lunch, go back out and fish untill dinner at around five-o-clock, then i go up to the lodge and play pool or go exploring about the island, then i come back to the cabin around 8-o-clock and fish off the dock until bed. Even the trip up to the resort is fun. I advise all off you to drive instead of fly and not just because I'm afraid to fly. The scenery is the best and in Wawa (a little town right before Hawk Junction where you get on the train) there is a general store with traditional Canadian crafts and really cool toys and stuff. I rate this resort a 5 because it is all around wonderful to go to.

“Outstanding resort”

Errington's Wilderness Island Resort

Jun 17, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Just completed our 11th annual trip to Errington's. The scenery is stunning. Forest or lake as far as you can see, crisp clean air, lots of wildlife. Fishing is great, and no, I won't tell you where our favorite holes are, although Doris will tell you where she would go.

We choose the housekeeping plan, cooking our own meals, but we do go to the lodge for dinner once during the week. The cabins are very comfortable, with indoor plumbing, cooking, a refrigerator and propane grill. As a reformed back-packer, it sure looks like the Ritz to me. Everything is well maintained and any problems that do happen are addressed promptly.

What really sets Errington's apart from other places is Al and Doris and their staff. Everyone is cheerful and friendly and they make you feel like your vacation is their most important priority. Highest recommendations for a 'get-away-from-it-all' vacation. No cell phone service, no internet, no tv, no radio, no cable. If there is a newspaper in the lodge, it will be at least a week old. Truly wonderful.

“nature, fish, great food and a train trip....what more could you want!”

our visit was one of the nicest trips i've taken anywhere. we were treated like kings by all the staff and the food was great. when they realized we were slugs and would sleep a little later, they carried breakfast over from the lodge to our room every morning.
the lake, the scenery, the wildlife and the fishing were great, the boats were nice and started easy. we had the option of shore lunches, where they cooked our catch on a secluded lake island for lunch, and those were incredible meals, delicious and in such pristine locations.
i had never been to a fishing type lodge before and this was a great experience. i can't wait to be able to go there again.

“A Welcome Respite”

Errington's Wilderness Island Resort

Mar 8, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We've been coming up to Al's place for many years now. We've seen the many positive changes he's made -- all for the better.

I'd say that out of the last 15 years I've been up there 5 or 6 times. Other family members can boast the same record.

It's a proven and pleasant respite. Lucky for me, we've got two cabins reserved for June 2007. Twelve of us will be up there for 4 days of fishing and family reunion.

If it's as good as it's been in past years, I'll be a happy traveller.

4/4 found this review helpful

As Papaw60 explained above, Erringtons is an excellent place to stay for great fishing, great views of wildlife, and treated like you are the most important person they have all season!

The boats are excellent, the dock staff give 125% to make sure you have good equipment and will answer any questions you have.

A couple pointers:
Come prepaed to relax. While the cabins are not the Ritz Charles, they are very comfortable and make you feel like you are the only peope in camp.

Bring quarters. The minnow races are a MUST!

Be prepared to catch more fish than you can imagine and I would hope you throw most back. My sons and I are extreemly lcky to have a grandpa who we can share this trip with and I hope I can o this with my grandsons!

Bring a camera! You will want pictures to get you until the next time you can go!
