Train-in Fishing

Algoma offers a truly unique experience: travelling to a remote lake by train. Your journey begins on the VIA Rail “Budd Car,” whisking you through Algoma’s remote wilderness in comfort. Simply load your gear, relax, and let the train get you on track to your next fishing adventure.

Rail-line lodges offer diverse multi-species fishing depending on the property. Expect incredible fishing action for huge northern pike, walleye galore, whitefish, perch, lake trout, and brookies! Now, imagine a shore lunch after a morning of fishing with these offerings. Once your arm is tired from hauling in your catch, many of these lodges offer ways to explore nature. Kayak or canoe the calm waters of their remote lakes. Relax in the remote surroundings and be on the lookout for wildlife.

Boarding the train in Algoma is easy; travel to either White River or Chapleau. Located in Southern Ontario? No problem! The rail service extends to Sudbury, Ontario, so no need to drive longer than that! You can depart Toronto on the world-famous Canadian, and arrive in the wilderness the next afternoon. Simply contact your lodge, and they will be happy to guide you through the process of booking your train ticket.

It’s easy to plan a dream fishing or wilderness trip via train that you will never forget.

Please note VIA Rail does not travel out of Sault Ste. Marie.
