Access to the Lodge is by boat only. If you want to rent the Lodge for charter trips such as fly fishing charters check with your guides to arrange pickup. Arrangements be made for Capt. Pat to transport you to the marina to meet your guides or possibly leave a boat for your use to access your vehicle. Additional fees may apply. Inquire with details when making reservations.

This is the best fishing camp you will find in the Hopedale/Delacroix area. Fisherman's Paradise is an understatement. Fully equipped with everything you will need to clean and cook your daily catch and all the comforts to relax and commensurate with your fishing buddies while sharing a fishing story or two.

You can launch your boat and park at the back down at "Pip's" which is 3 blocks from Hopedale Canal or travel down to the end of the road to Hopedale Marina which is approximately 1 mile. Both launches charge $10 for the back down ramps.
