Built over 50 years ago by a wealthy Chicago businessman, Duck Bay Lodge has had few owners.  As the fourth owner, we purchased Duck Bay Lodge in 1988, committed to maintaining it's tradition of excellence and personalized service.  The hand-crafted furnishings, meticulous maintenance and careful renovations show the pride and love of each owner.  We extend our invitation to you to experience our warm hospitality in the Canadian wilderness.  We look forward to welcoming you.
