I had one of the best fishing trips ever thanks to the folks at Crow Rock Lodge. The staff, guides and accommodations were outstanding. The guides had us on large numbers of fish every day. The food, service and lodging were perfect and greatly appreciated. I’ve already booked my next trip there.

The ultimate Canadian fishing experience: refined. We have been vacationing there since '86. While we can't make it every year, it is our goal to do so. It is that good. Incredible fishing locations & variety. Add to that, gourmet level food, experienced guides, accommodating staff, and excellent equipment make it the perfect fishing vacation.

We have been going to Crow Rock for about 20 years. The accommodations are excellent, food is terrific, the guides are knowledgeable, and the fishing is great. We are going back again this year with a group of 8. Kurt Dafcik the owner of this family lodge and all the employees are very response to our needs every year.

We had an amazing trip at Crow Rock! Getting our 3 generations together is often a challenge. So, getting that time together was a treat for us. Add to that the incredible hospitality that the staff, the guides provided for us, and it was a recipe for success. I am aware that our group can be a bit needy. So, please know that we appreciate all the accommodations that were made to make our stay and experience just perfect. We’d love to make this a regular thing. Our most heartfelt gratitude to everyone that made our stay at Crow Rock Lodge just right. In particular, Trevor’s special attention and sensitivity to my brothers' vision impairments along with his well natured approach to teaching and guiding us all into a phenomenal fishing experience was something that we will never forget. Chris and Chopper were also spectacular to learn with and spend our time together. Chris guided my Dad into his PB pike and witnessing him land that fish was certainly special for me and my son. Lastly, your wonderful kitchen and wait staff deserve a special thank you. The demand over the last weekend was notably great and they all handled that with grace and ease from where we saw it.
Thanks again for a fabulous time at Crow Rock. We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Fantastic overall experience, hospitality was great, fishing was great. Guides put us on a lot of fish and we were able to find tons of walleye, pike, and bass less than 10 minutes from camp. Can’t wait to go back!

My son and I returned to Crow Rock the 3rd week of August with 2 other friends and my stepson from Miami. The only problem that we had was travel which really didn't surprise us during the last two years of universal weirdness. As a result all of us had to spend our first night in Kenora are we were lucky to get the last 3 rooms. The hotel as an expensive "dump"and it was not a Ritz Carleton. On the return to Florida the 3 of us were forced to spend an extra night in Winnipeg. As to the lodge. First, Kurt is a first class host. Always comes over to us to see if everything is going to plan. His staff is great, the food is good, the rooms are very clean and I especially enjoy getting fresh towels daily as well as the floors being mopped. As to the fishing it was GREAT!!! The second day out my son and I LANDED over75 Walleye. Our last afternoon we landed about 35-40 more before we got chased off the lake because of a really bad storm. Finally, we had three guides that were terrific! Each were competent and were needed because of the size of Lake of the Woods. We will be back up again next year and hope to bring along more family and friends.

Crow Rock and Rowdy lake are the absolute best fishing experience in Canada. We missed due to Covid last time around but already have 2021 booked. What a fantastic time. Giant pike and walleye and the small mouths are my absolute favorite. You lose track of how many fish you catch.

I have been going to fishing lodges since I was very young. I have fished from Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territory to a place in Venezuela for Peacock Bass (before Chavez) and most of Central America on both coasts. I particularly love fishing in Canada. Without a doubt Crow Rock might be the best place that I have ever enjoyed. First, the place is fairly easy to reach from International Falls, MN by car. Second, Kurt and his family have run Crow Rock for many years and do it really well. Food very good and lots of it. The cabins are spotless. The help goes out of the way to assist. Fishing was very good and the guides were great. My son and I each caught a trophy smallmouth bass, 1 large Musky and 2 big Northern Pikes. No complaints about this place. I'll be back next year. ENJOY!

I have had the great fortune of visiting many of the area resorts in Ontario and Crow Rock Lodge is honestly one of the best. The resort is well maintained and well staffed with plenty of people to assist you with all of your needs. The owners understand the value of their guests and do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. The lodge is located in the heart of some of the best fishing in the world and the guides on staff are knowledgable and accommodating. I recommend hiring one to shorten the learning curve if you are new to the lake. One of the unique things about the resort is the private cabins located away from the main lodge. Our group stays at the Cloverleaf Island cabin and have been doing so for the last 5 or 6 years. We are left alone, which is what we want, and get any assistance we need upon request. Another unique aspect of the resort is the access to the private lakes around LOTW itself. I can honestly say that making the portage to some of these lakes is truly spiritual and a day you will never forget. If you are considering a trip to LOTW and fishing is important then this is the place for you. You will get what you pay for and more. Jason J.

I have had the pleasure of going to Crow Rock for the past 25 yrs. My father introduced me then to the wonderful experiences of fishing and enjoying the outdoor activities of Ontario, Canada. Year after year, the fishing is excellent, the scenery is spectacular and all of which make for the perfect vacation. At Crow Rock Lodge, the people are very friendly and extremely accommodating, the food is excellent and the cabins are quite comfortable and always very clean. Three generations of my family have been able to enjoy this wonderful experience, and I'm very much looking forward to the day when I can introduce my grandchildren to Crow Rock! The Dafcik family has owned and operated the camp for many years, their professionalism and knowledge is second to none. Sandy Haury
