Here are some of the most
commonly asked questions about the Lukinto Lake
Lodge experience:
1. Where is Lukinto Lake Lodge
located?
We are located
in north central Ontario above Michigan. Lukinto
is approximately 14 miles east of the town of
Longlac and 4 miles north of Highway 11. Watch for
our sign on the highway before you turn
north.
2. Is Lukinto Lake Lodge a
fly-in lodge?
We are
not a fly-in lodge, but our fishing is as good as
most fly-in lakes because our lakes are very
secluded. It is not uncommon for you to fish all
day and not see another boat in addition to no
other resorts or cabins.
3. What clothing should a
person bring?
Come
prepared for all weather. Be sure to have a hat,
sunglasses, sun protection, long sleeve and short
sleeve shirts. Depending on the time of the year
you come, bring warm and cold weather clothing,
sneakers or comfortable shoes, rubber boots and
don't forget rain gear, flashlight and a
camera.
4. Are there towels or bed
linens provided in the cabins?
Bed linens are provided, but bring
your own towels, washcloths and soap for showering
and doing dishes.
5. How much do you need for a
down payment to make a reservation and do you
accept credit cards?
We
require a $50 down payment for each person to hold
your cabin. We operate in Canadian money and do
not accept credit cards, because we do not have a
secure phone line.
6. Are meals served at
Lukinto?
Meals are not
served at Lukinto. Each cabin has all the
necessary cooking utensils, dishes, refrigerator
and stove with oven to cook your meals. There are
also a few restaurants in town, if you don't feel
like cooking. Check to see if there will be a Fish
Fry scheduled at the lodge for the week you are
staying there.
7. Should I bring my own
cigarettes and liquor?
If you smoke, buy your American
cigarettes at home or the duty-free store before
crossing the border into Canada. You are permitted
to bring 1 carton per person into Canada. You can
also buy liquor at the duty-free store before you
drive into Canada. Each adult is allowed 1 case of
beer or 1 litre (quart) of liquor. You get the
best prices at the duty-free store, but you can
also buy beer and liquor at the LCBO (liquor
store) in Longlac.
8. What kind of vehicle works
best on the roads around Lukinto?
This is truck country. A 4-wheel
drive is not a necessity, but they come in
handy.
9. Do I need to wear my
seatbelt when driving in Canada?
When traveling in Canada, we suggest
you keep your belt on. Canadians take that law
very seriously. Be prepared to be checked at
anytime by the OPP (Ontario Provincial
Police).
10. What is a
kilometer?
A kilometer
is a metric measurement of distance. It is
approximately 6/10's of one mile. Average speed on
the highway is 90 kilometers per hour.
11. How is temperature
measured in Canada?
In
Canada, temperature is given in celsius. To figure
out a fahrenheit temperature from celsius, a
simple formula to use is to double the celsius
temperature, then subtract 10% of the doubled
temperature and add 32. This will give you a close
fahrenheit temperature. If you would like an
easier conversion, try the Temperature Conversion
link on the left side of the Home Page in the
Useful Links area.
12. What kind of businesses
are in the town of Longlac?
In the town of Longlac there are
grocery stores, a laundry mat, couple of
restaurants, churches, gas stations, Radio Shack,
Kentucky Fried Chicken, Robyn's Donuts, LCBO
(liquor store), 2 banks, ATM's and the world
famous Tim Skinner's Sporting Goods and Tackle
Shop for all your tackle and outdoor needs.
13. Does the town of Longlac
have a golf course?
No,
but if you are a golfer bring your clubs and play
18 holes at the beautiful Kenogamisis Golf Course
located 40 minutes away in Geraldton. We can make
your reservations for you.
14. Is there a need to worry
about deer ticks and Lime's Disease?
There is no need to worry about
ticks. We have no ticks or Lime's Disease up
here.
15. Are lifejackets provided
or should I bring my own?
We do have lifejackets, but bring
your own lifejacket if you have one.
16. What if I have questions
about the website?
Send
an email to webmaster@lukintolakelodge.com.
17. Do we have to carry
boats?
No. Lodge boats
are already located at many lakes in the area. All
you have to do is carry a motor to the boat and
start fishing.
