Wilderness by Rail Lodges Along the Line - Algoma Country - Ontario

The Algoma Central Railway provides the outdoor enthusiast year-round access to a variety of remote lodges along our line. Sit back and relax as your picture window coach carries you into a pristine wilderness you'll soon be calling home.

Our rail line winds its way through the heart of 22,000 square miles of recreational wilderness called Algoma Country. Algoma Country is divided into two very distinct geographical regions. In the south you'll find the rugged granite rock formations of the Canadian Shield, a land of mixed forests, mountain lakes and streams made famous by Canada's Group of Seven and the Agawa Canyon tour train. The northern portion runs through the Great Clay Belt Region where you'll find level boreal forests, numerous lakes, muskeg and the home of the lordly moose.

There are lodges situated in both regions along our line, each offering an experience unique to its location. Enjoy fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, birding, hiking, swimming, boating, mountain biking, photography or an artist's paradise. In the winter there is cross-country skiing, snow shoeing and ice fishing. An incredible wilderness experience is waiting for you along the line.

As the train pulls up to your stop, your hosts will be there to welcome you and help you get settled in for the next part of your wilderness adventure.

There is a unique mix of lodge experiences to choose from offering secluded facilities and accommodations ranging from rustic to first class and family vacations to corporate retreats.

Whether you prefer the independence of preparing your own meals in a cozy housekeeping cabin or the pampering of a full American plan including delicious home cooked meals prepared for you in the main lodge, your hosts will cater to all your needs.

Hat Creek Ranch – British Columbia

Historic Hat Creek Ranch offers a rare opportunity to explore the original buildings of a key location in the transportation history of the Cariboo. The site also present the story of early use of the valley by people of the Shuswap Nation and their more recent contribution to the growth of the ranching industry. Here in the dry rainshadow climate, east of the Coast Range mountains, a unique blend of cultures has evolved in a landscape of sage, bunchgrass and Ponderosa pines. Come and experience one of the most distinctive heritage sites in British Columbia.

Interpreters in period clothing will take you on a guided tour of the 1860s Roadhouse, which catered to miners, pack-train operators, stagecoaches and wagon trains right up until 1916 when the automobile was first introduced to the Cariboo.  Stroll through the beautiful heritage apple orchard, view our collection of antique agricultural equipment, and explore the ranch barns and outbuildings, some of which have recently been restored with the generous help of the Province of British Columbia.

A brief walk along beautiful Hat Creek will take you to our Native Village, where members of the Shuswap Nation share their fascinating history and culture with our visitors and interpret the many original displays that are shown on the site, which include an authentic Kekuli (pit house), the traditional winter home of the Shuswap built half above and half below ground.

For a different type of adventure, we offer stagecoach rides along the historic "Cariboo Waggon Road", gold panning, archery and more.
