My uncle told me he and his clan will be traveling to a family cabin 'off the grid' and 40 miles from the nearest road in Ontario. He said you get there by a long boat trip or seaplane. He asked if I wanted to fly up. (I can't this time, but maybe later) It is called Upper Manitou Lake and he said it's near 'Lubagoon'? Anyone know it?<br /><br />He said the building hasn't been lived in for many years but they are going to fix it up.

Great seaplane area Ken. Look for a town called Dryden in western Ontario.Go east on Hwy 17 along the shores of Lake Wabigoon.<br />To get to Upper Lake Manitou, go south out of Dryden on Hwy 502 towards Fort Frances. About midway (70 kms ) long that hwy, you will be abeam the lake...it is off to the west. I'll dig out my Ontario seaplane chart a see if there is a float operation on the lake. I suspect that there are numerous ones as the roads are indeed, very sparse.<br />Bring loads of insect repellant.It will be worth it as this is a great fishing area.<br />Cheers....Dave

Thanks Dave! They told me they were quoted $1000 to fly in 3-4 of them by seaplane or $375 by boat. They chose boat. I do hope to visit next year when I take my 'grand tour'.
