Set within the living forest between the towns of Elk Lake and Gowganda in North Eastern Ontario is Lost Lake Wilderness Lodge. We’re about a 6 1/2 hour drive north of Toronto, Ontario. North Eastern United States guests can come up through highway #81 to avoid the Toronto traffic or through Buffalo, NY and see Niagara Falls on the way. North Central area residents usually choose the Buffalo, NY corridor for it's easy access to major highways north. South Central States can choose any of the above routes depending on where they live. Michigan area residents can choose Detroit, Port Huron or Sault Ste Marie as their access points to the north. New York guests can come through the Thousand Island Bridge area or Ottawa crossing. Some more distant friends come by air and often land in Toronto or North Bay where they rent a car to come up. Still others flying their own plane land at Earlton, Ontario and are picked up by our shuttle service.
