Gosenda Lodge

I stumbled across this interesting looking outpost on Pine Lake called "The Chutes" owned by Gosenda Lodge out of Foleyet Ontario on the internet. It looked like they used Air Foleyet for the flight service. Pine Lake is on the Nemegosenda river system north of Frog Lake. I have not seen anyone discuss this outfitter. Anyone know anything about it?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

Well, managed to find an old website for Air Foleyet. The rates are for 1999, lol, so not sure if this is the current site or if it's still in operation. Although, I came across a personal trip report/blog from this year, so I know someone is running that outpost.

I fired off an email, so we'll see what happens.

Just bumping this for a refresh. Still wondering about Hemp's Camps, Gosenda Lodge and the two Outposts. I know The Chutes outpost is still in operation.

 

Air Ivanhoe does the flying now. You fly from Ivanhoe Lake into Pine Lake and boat down the river to the outpost.

 

Anyone have any other info?

 

Thanks!

It was 2 or 3 years ago, we were considering going to the Chutes outpost for a week. The website is outdated, but the phone number worked and the outfitter is still doing business.

 

You fly into the Pines outpost, load your boats, and travel down to the Chutes

 

Unless repeat clientele are keeping things going, this guy could use a new website.

 

I'm interested in this camp too, it's hard to dig up any information or reports on it.

Thanks Chris. That website isn't even his actual website, it some odd archived site. I think it's from back in the Geocities days, lol.

 

I only know of the one group that's been going since 2009. I linked his blog and report up in my original post.
