Lodges in Savant Lake Ontario

Savant Lake is located about 80 miles (130 km) north of Ignace on Highway 599. The largest lakes around Savant Lake are Sturgeon Lake and Lake Savant. Savant Lake is nearly 52 miles long, 305 feet deep and has over 800 miles of shoreline. The Lake is south of Savant Lake and has drive-in and boat-in island resorts. In addition to excellent walleye, northern pike and deep lake trout fishing, Sturgeon Lake also offers shallow water lake trout fishing. At ice out, lake trout are found in the shallow water. They are hungry, aggressive and will hit on most any spoon or diving lure you cast them. In the fall, trout come to the shallows to spawn. Throw small heavy spoons, spinners, or spinner baits around the rocky reefs near deep water. Thanks to its many bays and islands, you can go fishing or boating under almost any weather conditions.
