Bear Paw Landing
A lodge and fishing camp on Wabigoon Lake near Dinorwic in northwestern Ontario, known for guided black bear hunts, strong walleye fishing and a hands-on owner-host.
What visitors say
Bear Paw Landing is a long-running camp on Wabigoon Lake in the Kenora District, with drive-in cabins, a more rustic boat-in camp and an outpost camp. One family whose relatives started the camp decades ago returned for a reunion and said the boat-in camp is basic but clean, while the drive-in side has full amenities. A recent guest said their cabin even had a washer and dryer.
The owner comes up in almost every review. Guests describe him as a generous, hands-on host who shows people fishing spots from his boat, shares advice and stories, and cooks the occasional walleye. Hunters say he and his team handle the details well, from food to clean accommodation.
Bear hunting is the camp's reputation. Hunters report plenty of bears and stands set up and ready, and one father and son both took bears on the same trip. Anglers talk about some of their best walleye days, plenty of crappie, and a lake with a musky reputation. Families come back for week-long fishing stays.
Most reviews are glowing, though many date from several years ago. One older review complained of an unreliable new owner, but it's an outlier against a steady run of positive recent reports. The boat-in and outpost camps are rustic, so check which accommodation you're booking.
