About

Maple Leaf Lodge (Chalets Feuille d'Erable) is a family-run outfitter tucked along the shore of Lake Kipawa in Laniel, in the Temiscamingue. It rents three comfortable, recently renovated cabins, fully equipped: full kitchen, bathroom with hot water, a spacious living room with 16-foot ceilings, a gas BBQ and a private dock right on the lake. The cabins run on solar power with a backup generator. Lake Kipawa offers varied fishing - bass, walleye, northern pike and lake trout - with boat and gas included in the fishing packages. The lodge also offers guided moose and black bear hunts across vast territories reached by boat (experienced guide, baited sites, trophy preparation). Boat rentals (16-foot, 15 hp Honda motor) and pontoon boat tours round out the offering. Pets are welcome. Your hosts: John and Nancy Walters.
