About This Outpost

Only cabin on the lake — Complete privacy
Chipchase is wilderness luxury at its best. The frame cabin was newly constructed in 2007 after the original log cabin was destroyed by fire in 2006. At almost 900 sq ft, it features separate bedrooms, a large screened octagon gazebo, solar power, wood walkways, and a 12-foot wide deck with rocking chairs. The lake is private (catch and consume) and is a walleye fishing hot spot.

Summarized Review Highlights

Ogoki Frontier, and specifically its Chipchase Lake outpost, has earned strong praise from guests who have actually stayed there. Verified guests report exceptional fishing with catches that exceeded their expectations, well-maintained and reliable boats and motors, and a high-quality cabin described as first-class. The natural setting also left a strong impression, with guests noting wildlife encounters and northern lights as memorable highlights of their trip.

The only negative feedback in the available reviews comes from a prospective visitor who stopped in without a booking and felt the staff were unwelcoming and uninterested in speaking with them. This person did not fish or stay at the outfitter, so their review does not reflect the guest experience itself. That said, it may be worth noting that Ogoki Frontier could come across as less approachable to walk-in visitors or those still in the early comparison-shopping stage.

Based on the available reviews, Ogoki Frontier's Chipchase Lake outpost appears best suited for small groups of anglers looking for a remote fly-in outpost experience with solid fishing, comfortable accommodations, and reliable equipment. Those who value wilderness scenery alongside their fishing will likely find it a good fit. Prospective guests who prefer a more hands-on sales or tour experience before committing may want to reach out in advance to set expectations.

Chipchase Lake – Exceeded Expectations
Paul and Judy, Just a note to say we had a wonderful time at Chipchase Lake. We caught more fish than we imagined we could, and loved the scenic beauty of the outpost. We enjoyed seeing the two eagles that visited us on occasion, and the view of the northern lights on a couple of nights. The new cabin is first class, very impressive, and the equipment, boats and motors were dependable and easy to use. Everyone's expectations were exceeded by our visit with you at Chipchase Lake. Best wishes for a successful season. We hope to see you again, soon.
