In 1952 the Pilon family staked their claim to wilderness lands of the Northern Ontario Territories and opened the doors to Kanipahow Kamps, which is now called Kanipahow Wilderness Resort & Outposts. The abundant wildlife and rich fertile waters of the Chapleau River produced a hunting and fishing camp which would become well known all over North America. Today the family tradition lives on. Their support of conservation and wildlife management over the years has allowed them to maintain the high success rate that their customers enjoy today. Expert fishing and hunting skills have been passed down to the new owners who invite you to come to Kanipahow Wilderness Resort & Outposts for a fishing and/or hunting vacation of a lifetime.

We offer excellent Walleye, Northern Pike, Jumbo Perch and Lake Trout fishing. Adjoining waters also offer opportunities for excellent Brook Trout, Splake and Smallmouth Bass fishing. All of this situated in the Northern Ontario Wilderness of Algoma Country just a little over 3 hours North of the International bridge in Sault Ste. Marie. The Chapleau River with its 13 miles of boating and its many adjacent lakes produces excellent Walleye, Northern Pike, Jumbo Perch fishing. Just a short drive away Lake Trout and Brook Trout fishing can be enjoyed as well. We also offer fall moose, bear and world class spruce and ruffed grouse hunting.
