Black Currant Lake Outpost

Rates  |   Map

The Assinka River flows from Meat Lake for more than 20 miles (32km) before entering Black Currant Lake. The cabin is located on the only island in the middle of the lake and is an excellent all-season walleye lake because of its depth and structure. Black Currant Lake is 3 miles (5km) wide and 4 miles (6.5km) long. Depth exceeds 50 feet (15m) in some areas with the main lake ranging from 24' to 32' (7-10m) in depth. A boat and motor await you on three different lakes after a short portage.

Six person frame cabin with screen porch, full kitchen with electric fridge, gas stove, hot & cold running water, indoor bathroom and shower. Kitchen is fully equipped with all pots, pans, utensils & dishes. Capacity: 6 people. Comfortable and well taken care of Outposts are a hallmark of Thunderbird Lodge & Outposts.

The outcamp has three 14' Lund boats with swivel seats & 8 h.p. motors. We supply life cushions & jackets (large & extra large only), nets, anchors, paddles and mixed gas. We also have 3 portage boats and motors available.
