spatters Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 A group of us are staying at the Sportsman Lodge Wilderness Resort on Kukagami Lake over the Family Day weekend in Feb. Has anyone stayed there or spent time riding in that area? Comments, tips, advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hmmmm I might know a guy that's knows a guy who's wife's sister in law had a friend that stayed there. Trails in the area are so so right now but we have 3 weeks to go before your weekend. Lots of directions you can do day runs east, west, north, south. George is a great host but also a busy guy running the place. He will often sit and have a beer with you at the end of a day and tell you about the area, some beautiful places around, some just off the beaten path. Opinions will vary person to person, personally I like the guy. He does a lot for the club buy marking lakes, trails and doing whatever he can when time allows. George is a great cook as well. He has gas on site and if required you are only about an hour from Sudbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ask for rooms in the main lodge. Food and sledding atmosphere are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris1 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 We really enjoyed it there. BYOB,they stop serving early. Our group eats heartily,the food was great but could have eaten 2 more servings,each. George seemed like a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It is a decent spot. The accomdations are abit rustic and meal times are set. Don't be late or you will miss out. Wolf loop is nice with a climb up the mountain. View is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Decent place, I agree with the above reviews. If your looking for lodge accommodations then it’s likely your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonNytro Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Been there the past 2 years - George is a great guy. If running late for dinner call ahead and he will set aside a plate for you. x2 on staying in the main lodge, great place to hang out and have beers with other sledders after a day of riding. The Trails run right through the parking lot, easy to get in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZR SLEDHEAD Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 First time there last year for two days. Being as it's set up with meal plan and I'm a somewhat fussy eater, had concerns but food was fantastic, found George to be a great guy, staff was over the top accommodating. Accommodations, well on the rustic side but clean and tidy, yes I'd stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tall structure ( Clubhouse ? ) can be construed as a bunkie. Two single beds in L shape. Very compact bathroom, sink and shower. Went with teenagers. They loved it. It was okay- prefer the main lodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Valentines day sledding for us has typically been Deerhurst, Inn at Christie's Mill, Tapatoo... that sort of thing. I score extra points if they have a spa.

Once went to Mexico and did couples spa package and she asked for deep tissue message. Those Mexican's rubbed me out so hard, my big was black and blue for a few days afterwords.
