Rice Lake

[rob v]

I've got a week of vacation the first week in October with nothing planned and was thinking of spending a few days fishing Rice - I haven't been to Rice lake in years and would like to give it a try.

I'm by myself and I'm looking for cheap accommodations for a couple of nites - thinking perhaps a motel of some sort (renting a cabin from an outfitter would be too expensive). Any recommendations on places to stay near Rice lake ?

Thanks

There is a few Motels on hwy7 just east of Peterborough with a short drive to a boat launch, don't know the prices but the tournament guys stay at them...

Thanks - I'll give them a try.

It is on the water and October will be a slow season for them (IDK about duck hunting season) so you can ask or get a discount.

Have found that 'cheap' motels don't exist much below $100 / night these days. You might consider checking the off season prices on a few weekly rentals at lodges/resorts.

 

Rainbow cabins are on Otonobee River close to the its mouth on Rice Lake...being on river might give some shelter on a blustery day.
