The K/O Lodge is located about
6 miles from the beautiful town of Deep
River. Deep River itself is located along the shore of the Ottawa
River. Across the river (about one mile) from Deep River is the province
of Quebec. The Quebec side of the river is completely undeveloped and has
no roads, building or hydro lines, just unspoiled wilderness. Our area has
four river systems running through it: the Ottawa River, the Chalk River,
Petawawa River and the Barron River. Our nation's capital is only a two
hour drive from the lodge and offers virtually unlimited shopping and
attractions.
Deep River has a beautiful 9 hole golf course, which guests are
welcome to enjoy while staying at the K/O Lodge (not included in AP or Hunting
packages). While
traveling through Deep River on your way up to the lodge, the golf course will
be on
the right side of the highway so be sure to have a quick peek on your way by.
For guests wishing to pick up a few things while they are up
here, and to take advantage of the low Canadian dollar, Deep River and area has
over 40 business to serve you. Along with the usual stores you would find in a
small town, we have several antique, craft and gift stores with many surprising
and unique items.
For any guests that may have health
issues or concerns, the Deep River hospital is the
envy of the Ottawa Valley and they are sure to take care of any medical problem
that could possibly arise. In an emergency, a guest at the lodge could be at the
hospital in under 10 minutes.
The lodge itself is cradled between the Ottawa
River and the world famous Algonquin Park which is a 3050 square mile expanse of
wilderness. It is home to large populations of deer, moose and black
bears. There is nothing between the lodge and the park but wilderness and
unless you know where you are, it can be difficult to tell if you are in the
park or not (after all, the lakes and trees look the same inside the park as
outside).
When you look
at a map of our area, the first thing you'll notice is water everywhere!
There are about 75 lakes and four river systems within an hours traveling distance of the lodge.
These range in size from dozens of square miles for Holden Lake and our section
of the Ottawa River to less than a hundred acres for many of the back
lakes. We also offer a wide range of fish to pursue. Walleye,
Saugers, Pike, Muskellunge, Small Mouth Bass, Large Mouth Bass, Sturgeon,
Channel Cats, Gar, Perch, Pumpkinseeds and Blue Gills are all waiting to take
your line.
