Buck Fever Services: A Rider’s Haven on the Road Less Travelled

Where the road gets real and the cellphone bars disappear, Buck Fever Services is a go-to pitstop for motorcyclists in Northern Ontario that bridges the gap. If you’re carving your way across the region, the stretch between Hearst and Longlac can seem long and remote. That’s where Buck Fever Services steps in—95 km from Longlac, 115 km from Hearst, and 100% worth the stop.

Run by Daniela Gagnon, Buck Fever is a gas station, outfitter, convenience store, rest stop and meeting place all rolled into one that has quickly become a favourite oasis among riders exploring this northern passage. Whether you're a solo adventurer or riding with a group, here’s why it should be on your GPS (or mental map, because to be honest, your phone may not work out here).

Why Northern Ontario Motorcyclists Love Buck Fever

1. Fuel Up, Stock Up

With gas and diesel available, Buck Fever is a crucial stop in an otherwise sparse region. Inside the convenience store, you'll find all the road trip staples—snacks, fluids, emergency kits and all the caffeine you need. 
No reception? No problem. Buck Fever’s got Wi-Fi so you can check maps, message home, or scroll through the ride pics you just snapped.

2. Home-Cooked Meals on the Go

Buck Fever offers hot chili, homemade soups, sandwiches, coffee, and more, served with a side of Northern hospitality. There’s even a cozy country shack where you can warm your hands, dry off, or enjoy your own packed lunch.

3. Rest and Recharge

If the day’s ride is done or weather turns sour, on-site lodging is available, and it's customizable. Daniela believes riders should only pay for what they use, so you can choose lodging packages that fit your needs and your budget. Overnight cabins as well as trailer and tent camping are available, ideal for those needing a longer break from the road, and plenty of space to stretch out under the stars. Clean showers and restrooms are available, too. Buck Fever offers a chance to reset before the next leg of your journey rather than just a pitstop.

4. Plan Your Next Outdoor Adventure

Want to stretch your legs in a different way? Buck Fever also offers fishing and hunting tours, equipment rentals like ATVs, boats and snowmobiles, and local expertise to guide your next detour. Stay for a day and explore the area!
