Ideas for drive in camping trip to good walleye lake up North

[Moosebunk]

The portage into Onaman's is rather easy, not sure how old your kiddies are though...  

Onaman River Resort, had campsites.  Couple days on Onaman Lake portaging in, Lake Nipigon on a couple nice weather days, Drive over to Northwind for eyes and lakers.  You can trailer to other lakes in the area as well, ie: Babika, Frank, maybe  Martin, Willet,Toronto depending how adventurous. Launch into Ombabika Bay if wanting a big tour up to the Jackfish.  Just a tonne of options.  Numbers of eyes and good size... Onamans.

If it's the same Martin lake North of Northwind then you can't drive to it.. We made our way in to the lake last year but didn't fish it.. ATV, canoe and bush wack.. Lol.. Very pretty lake but I'm not sure how the fishing is. Years ago there was a cabin on it that I believe a logging company had been using.. The loggers fished it heavily at the time..

You could try White Lake Provincial Park.  Great camping sites and beach for the kids, and the pike and walleye fishing is supposed to be great (according to the locals).  You would need to trailer your boat up, but 12 hours and all highway.  Many other great walleye, speck and laker lakes in the White River area.  

Kwinkwaga lake is also close to White lake and is a smaller sized option with lakers, pike and walleye, and is a "roughing it" option in the area.  Beautiful lake, although the dirt road in is not well maintained.

If you are feeling adventurous you could head into wenebegon up by chapleau. It's atv accessible only. Great walleye and long off the beaten path. No real beach though. If you have the cash and want comfort contact five mile lodge they have a very nice outpost on an island.

Another great little area is www.ituksum.net off the chapleau highway. Tons of small lakes loaded with fish and most atv accessible only. You can camp there or rent a cabin. Tim the owner is awesome and will send you in the right direction. Again no real beach lol

sorry if this is late but my vote is for nipissing.  georgian bay moon river area or bay of quinte.  All of these are world class walleye fisheries with family friendly areas especially in july and you dont need to drive 12 hour to get to them.

x2 for wenebegon lake. Did a father and sons trip there with five mile lake lodge. its a huge lake with lots of water to explore. Theres a few beaches on the lake that u could boat to and camp at. There were some younger guys working for the MNR doing that when we were there

no offense,but there are far better places than nippissing

I’ve always had amazing fishing on nipissing myself.  My biggest large mouth and my biggest walleye have both come from nipissing. What would you recommend to this fellow?? 

Cheers!
