What is Ojibway like?

The Great North Woods — with service. Ojibway offers a warm, easy atmosphere. Our staff understands that if you come this far for a North Woods vacation, you're probably trying to get away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. Just because you are staying deep in the Canadian forest is no reason to give up such comforts as daily cabin service, superb meals, cabins with complete inside baths and propane lights. You won't find electricity or phones at Ojibway, we feel they would only tarnish the peace and quiet of the North Woods. You will find you won't miss them at all. We do maintain regular radio communication with the boat and plane services, as well as the Temagami Lakes Association.

Double Rainbow to the East

The Canadian North Woods is a unique place.
Few people every really find it.

Ojibway of Keewaydin is located on an island in Lake Temagami — an unspoiled lake with 3,000 miles of shoreline and 1,500 islands. Imagine a wilderness shielded by ancient granite and dense with giant northern white and red pine, birch and cedar. Loons call from the lake. Blueberries and ferns are at your feet. There are no roads to Ojibway, transportation to the island is by boat or float plane. When you arrive, you will be struck by the enormous silence of the magnificent forest.
