Elk Island Lodge is in Northern Manitoba, and the only way to get to our lodge is by air. We have a 4200 foot long runway made from the crushed rock taken from the gold mine site on Elk Island in the early 1900's. The crushed rock is more of a powder now so it will not damage props and it does not get too soft for taking off or landing.

We charter an ATR 42 which is a multi-engine aircraft and can carry up to 40 passengers. The flight from Winnipeg International Airport to Elk Island Lodge is approximately one hour and twenty five minutes. Our flights depart Winnipeg at around 11:30 a.m. every four days. You can arrive in Winnipeg on NorthWest Airlines from such major cities as Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis the morning of your departure date and avoid spending time and money on hotels and meals in Winnipeg. You can leave your home and be fishing in Northern Manitoba at our lodge in the same day.

When you leave Elk Island Lodge you will be back in Winnipeg around 4:30 in the afternoon which makes it possible for you to catch the NorthWest Flight bound for Minneapolis at 6:00 p.m.
