About This Outpost

South Rapids Lake (South Shore Rapids) sleeps up to 10 people and features a large 24'x40' cabin with separate bedrooms and a new kitchen, plus a new 12-foot deck in front. Four 14-foot Lund boats with new 9.9 Yamaha motors are at the dock. A short drive south of camp leads to 'Top Lake' where three additional boats await on top of a great set of rapids — one of the best walleye fisheries found anywhere. Lake trout are also caught in Main Lake.

Reviews & Reputation

Summarized Review Highlights

Based on the available review, Showalter's Fly-In Outposts receives a perfect 5-star rating, with the guest highlighting the remote, roadless setting and pristine lake conditions as standout features. The overall sentiment is strongly positive, emphasizing the appeal of untouched wilderness and productive fishing.

The reviewer specifically praises the quality of the fishing, noting that fish are actively biting, and appreciates the self-directed nature of the experience, where guests set their own schedule and pace. The fly-in access to otherwise unreachable lakes appears to be a central part of the appeal.

With only a single review available, it is not possible to draw reliable conclusions about consistency of experience, staff, lodging, food, or any recurring concerns. Based on what is available, this destination appears best suited for anglers who value independence, solitude, and access to remote wilderness lakes. Those looking for a guided, structured, or amenity-rich experience may want to seek out additional reviews before booking to better understand what the outpost setting offers.
