"Located 300 air miles northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba and bordering Ontario to the east, Island Lake is situated in the center of Canada's lake filled heartland. This body of water is over 60 miles long, 40 miles wide and is dotted with more than 3,400 islands. Accessible only by air, there are no roads into this remote area. Island Lake is truly one of the few natural realms remaining in North America."
