Silsby Lake Lodge & Outpost Camps are located 400 miles northeast of Winnipeg, MB. In 2013, guests will fly direct from Winnipeg to our new airstrip at Silsby Lake. With over 35 years experience, we have streamlined our operation to eliminate any problems associated with transportation to and from Winnipeg and in and out of our camps. To assist guests in Winnipeg before and after their trip, we have a Winnipeg Coordinator to greet and help in any way needed.
Itinerary - Guests will depart at 5:30 a.m. the morning of their trip start date for a 1 hr. 45 min. direct flight to Silsby Lake. After arrival, Silsby guests will be taken by their guide to their island getaway for the remainder of their stay. High Hill guests will take a boat across Silsby and through the scenic High Hill river guided by their camp manager to the camp. Cuddle guests will take a short vehicle ride from the airstrip. On your return date you will depart the airstrip at Silsby and arrive in Wpg. by 11 a.m.
We landed our first direct flights from Winnipeg this past summer on our new 4000' runway. This incredible feat vaults Silsby into the elite category of the few resorts in Canada operating their own private airstrip. An enormous amount of material was moved this spring and summer. The equipment held up well considering the conditions, but the frost and weather wreaked havoc with us from the start. We are on to the final faze of project with the top layer of gravel to be hauled and placed this winter. The 35 plus passenger turbo prop jets will start arriving in the spring of 2013. Hallelujah!
