There are many attractions in our camp and area for the non-angler including prospecting, collecting, driftwood, rocks, Indian relics, picnicking, boating, swimming, sightseeing and just loafing.

Our store is open every morning and evening. We have basic groceries, fishing tackle, souvenirs, and snack food as well as night crawlers, frozen minnows and ice. We have boat gas in 6 US gallon jerry cans, mixed or pure. The public launch ramps at Mile 9 and Mile 20 are available to all. We also keep boats at a private dock at the 20 Mile mark. We also have the fish-cleaning house, and a freezer for your fish.

Exchange rates on the U.S. Dollar is about equal to the Canadian Dollar as of July 1, 2008. This means that your U.S. money is worth about the same in Canada.

We also sell fishing and hunting licenses, Non-resident fishing licenses for 2008 will cost: $51.02 for the season, $34.35 for 7 consecutive days, and $22.33 for 3 consecutive days. There is also a seasonal “catch-and-release” license for $10.06. A license holder's children under 18 can fish without a license, but their catch counts on the parent's limit. Students 18-24 can also fish on their parent’s license as long as they have a valid student ID with them. Possession limits in our zone are 10 pike and 8 walleye. A size limit of 12 inches has been put on the walleye.

All prices are in Canadian Dollars.

THE FRIENDLIEST CAMP IN THE NORTH

The LODGE AT PARENT LAKE owners are Wayne and Peggy Werner.  They live in Texas in the winter and will be at the LODGE all summer.  Wayne and Peggy have many years experience operating Camps and Conference Centers and both love to fish.

We rent cabins, boats and have a limited number of motors available for rent also. Our store is open mornings an evenings and items that we do not stock, such as beer and liquor, etc, are available in Senneterre, only 6 miles away. All of the stores in Senneterre are open 6 days a week; some are also open Sunday afternoon. There are several restaurants in Senneterre if you choose not to cook all your meals.

The LODGE at Parent Lake is located in the Province of Quebec, on Route 113, six miles North of Senneterre, 270 miles Northwest of Ottawa, 325 miles Northwest of Montreal and 325 miles Northeast of Northbay, Ontario.  All routes are paved.  The road through La Verendrye Reserve has been greatly improved in the past few years.  Bus, train and Airline service is available.  Car Rental service is available at the Airport in Val d'Or, 55 miles from the LODGE at Parent Lake.

Parent Lake is located on the southern edge of non-colonized territory.  It is a long narrow lake in the setting of evergreen forest with many white sandy beaches.  It is one of the very few places anywhere that those who love the great outdoors can find the fishing and hunting so many enjoy.  There are also many small lakes, rivers, and streams nearby.  Northern Pike and Walleye are the predominant in the area, but also other species.

All cabins and housekeeping efficiencies contain a kitchen with dishes,  cooking utensils, electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, bathroom with bathtub or shower, electric heat, blankets and pillows.  Bring your own towels.
