A family-run Ontario resort, year-round.
Muskie Bay offers fully modern year-round resort lodging with American Plan and Housekeeping Plan packages. Let us do the worrying — you only have to get here.
A basecamp for anglers and outdoor travelers.
Located in the Sioux Narrows / Nestor Falls area of Ontario, Canada, Muskie Bay Resort is a year-round basecamp for anglers and outdoor travelers who want options beyond a single body of water.
Stay close to Crow Lake and Lake of the Woods, with quick access to surrounding lakes that let you adjust your day to conditions, species, and the kind of experience you're after. For guests looking for a true wilderness feel, the resort can transport you to portage lakes for a "fly-in style" outing — without the flight.
Lakes such as Cedar Tree, Jesse Lake, Wicks, and Weisner are known for world-class fishing and draw visitors from across North America for their remote setting and trophy potential.
Year-round access, real local knowledge.
