Poplar River Outpost

Rates  |   Map

Poplar River flows about 10 miles (16km) over four rapids before reaching the largest rapids in the area. It has many feeder creeks, sunken reefs, and bays of cabbage-weeds. Average depths are 10' to 15' (3-4.5m) with the deepest waters at 24 feet (7m). Guests have no trouble catching shore lunch in a hurry at this outpost. You'll want to bring lots of power baits and twister tails here as the appetites of the Northern Pike and Walleye seem to be working overtime.

Eight person frame cabin with screen porch, hot & cold running water, indoor shower and bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with all pots, pans, etc, electric fridge and gas stove. Capacity: 8 people.

The outcamp has four 14' Lund boats with swivel seats & 8 h.p. motors. We supply life cushions & jackets (large & extra large only), landing nets, anchors, paddles and mixed gas. There is one portage boat and motor available on Heidi Lake.

Guests staying at Poplar River Outcamp will drive from Winnipeg to the float facility in Pine Dock, Manitoba (2.5 hours) followed by a direct float plane ride to the outpost.
