ABOUT CAMERON ISLAND

Cameron Island is found on the map as the fish-shaped island, near the entrance to Howey Bay in Red Lake, Northwestern Ontario.

The Municipality of Red Lake, (pop. about 5,000), consists of six small communities,(Balmertown, Cochenour, Madsen, McKenzie Island, Red Lake and Starratt-Olsen), grouped together in this spectacular, scenic part of the province, known as “Sunset Country”.

Situated in one of the world's most prolific gold producing areas, the town of Red Lake is a vibrant, full service community.

Amenities include a new 5-doctor medical clinic, a 28-bed state-of-the-art hospital, 2 dental offices, a beautiful 18-hole golf course & Fahlgren International Airport with a new passenger terminal & 5,000 ft, all-weather runway.

With virtually zero unemployment, this is a great place to live & work, from childhood to retirement.

Red Lake is also the gateway to Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, now being considered for UNESCO World Heritage status.

This pristine wilderness park spans over 450,000 hectares, stretching from Red Lake to the Manitoba border.

Fish & wildlife abound here in their natural, undisturbed habitat, which is home to one of the largest groups of Woodland Caribou south of Hudson Bay.

The park is a paddler’s paradise with almost 2,000 km of maintained canoe routes & features the largest concentration of native aboriginal pictographs in Canada.

Cameron Island is located a short, sheltered boat ride from the government dock & boat launch, conveniently close to the town's many services.

This is the perfect place for the outdoor enthusiast to explore & enjoy the rocky, rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield.

The 28 mile, Red Lake waterway connects to 5 other lakes without portage, providing endless boating & paddling routes.

Few if any other regions of Canada can match Red Lake’s incredible freshwater sport fishing.

Anglers from all over North America travel here to catch Walleye, Northern Pike, Lake Trout,Yellow Perch, Whitefish & the elusive Muskie, “the fish of 10,000 casts”.

Whether you hunt birds, small or large game, Red Lake is a beacon for serious hunters.
Moose habitat is ideal & offers hunters one of the highest success rates in Canada.

An ice road runs very close to Cameron & the community maintains over 25 km of groomed cross country ski trails & hundreds of kilometers of snowmobile trails.
