22 Amazing Ice Fishing Huts & Bungalows You Can Rent On Lake Nipissing
Join the famous ice fishing village! Here's a complete guide to all the huts and bungalows you can rent around North Bay and Callander Bay this winter.
Lake Nipissing is a famous ice-fishing locale in Northeastern Ontario. Located about three hours north of the GTA, 1.5 hours east of Sudbury, and on the shores of scenic North Bay, this massive lake is one of the best ice fishing spots in Canada. Why? It's not just the amazing variety of species available to fish here—it's the community.
Stand at the edge of Lake Nipissing, and you'll see tiny ice bungalow villages spread all across the frozen lake. And many of the huts are available to rent.
What Do Ice Fishing Huts Rentals Include?
Most bungalows are outfitted with the comforts of home: propane furnace, propane lights, cooking utensils, a table and chairs, bunk beds, a heated private washroom, and 10" drilled holes are usually included.
TIP: Check with your chosen operator to find out what kind of gear you'll need to bring.
