Torch River, Saskatchewan

Northern Lights Camp

The spring bear camp on the boreal edge — six cabins on a quiet lake, long northern evenings and walleye off the dock between sits.

Northern Lights sits on a small lake at the end of a gravel road, an hour north of the farmland. Six cedar cabins face the water, each sleeping two, with the cook house and dining cabin at the centre of the clearing.

The rhythm of a spring bear hunt suits the place. Mornings are unhurried — coffee on the porch, a late breakfast, and a few hours of fishing if you want them; there are walleye and northern pike within a hundred yards of the dock and boats are included. Baits are freshened through the middle of the day, hunters are in stands by three, and the sit runs until dark, which in June is close to ten o'clock.

The camp runs on a generator and solar bank, with hot showers, a sauna and a fish-cleaning house. There is no cell service, which most guests count as a feature; a satellite phone is available for anything urgent, and messages can be sent from the office each evening.
