Hunting & Fishing

Bear Hunting at Highwind Lake Camp

At Highwind we offer an affordable, quality black bear hunt for both rifle and bow hunters. We have a high success rate due to our guaranteed working baits and large Bear Management Area that is home to a healthy population of black bear. Our hunting area is surrounded by miles and acres of uninhabited land covered in the rugged forests and terrain of the Canadian Shield. Our hunters can head out right from their cabins with their quads or trucks to reach their bait sites which will have been pre-baited and working.

If you’re interested in fishing, the lake trout season is open until September 30th or you can try to catch a trophy northern or small mouth bass in the deep clear waters of Highwind lake or the many surrounding lakes in our area.

These rates are for 7-day stay, 6 days of hunting. A longer hunt can be arranged for those coming from long distances that wish to spend a longer time in the wilderness.
NOTE: Rates are based on a minimum of two hunters per cabin. For rates for non-hunters check out our accommodations page.

Bear season for residents and non residents is as below or as reported in the MNRF Hunting Regulations Summary for a given year.
