The most amazing fishing vacation in Ontario
Caribou Falls Landing
Caribou Falls Landing is located 34 miles north of Minaki and is a great location if you’re looking to tailor your own unique fishing vacation in Ontario—make your own schedule and set your own fishing pace. Here is where you’ll find phenomenal walleye, smallmouth bass, and northern pike fishing. Numerous weedy bays, countless islands and miles of deep cool moving water provide the perfect backdrop for your Canadian fishing trip. You can choose to fish close to the lodge, or be adventurous and explore the waters of the English River.
The Store/Lodge
The lodge at Caribou Falls Landing is a one stop shop! The lodge houses a small grocery store with all the basic necessities as well as fresh milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, lunch meat, cheese and more. The bait and tackle shop offers an array of fishing gear-convenient for your fishing tactics, rods, reels, jigs, spoons, and for live bait you can choose to purchase minnows or leeches. We also have an array of souvenirs in the lodge and any extra toiletries for if a fisherman might require. Premium gas, ice, and fishing and hunting licenses can also be purchased at the Landing.
We do offer our guests WiFi down at the lodge either on the large lakeside deck or available from in our dining room in the lodge.
Historical landmark of Halley’s Camps
The Landing was considered the gateway to the English River for the Halley family and Halley’s Camps. Halley’s Camps was started in 1946 in Kenora, Ontario but in 1963, grandpa Louie Halley started using the ‘Landing’ as a parking spot basically to get fishermen to Kettle Falls Lodge. Louie would boat American guests to Kettle Falls to experience some great walleye and northern fishing. Eventually Louie and Yvonne created a store with a small campground at Caribou Falls Landing where they started expanding over the years with rental cabins for fishermen. With the aging of Louis and Yvonne, came changes as Gene and Wanda ran Caribou Falls Landing for years until their son, Chris and his wife, Amber took over in 2002.
