Hunting History »

We are Lloyd and Diana Cotton your Canadian fishing and hunting outfitter. We have owned Midnorth Outpost Camps for several years and now own and operate Kanipahow Wilderness Resort. We have merged the two businesses together into Kanipahow Wilderness Resort & Outpost Camps. We now can offer our guests housekeeping cottages at our main base location along with remote fly-in and remote drive-in outpost camps.

In 1952 the Pilon family staked their claim to wilderness lands of the Northern Ontario Territories and opened the doors to Kanipahow Kamps, which is now called Kanipahow Resort. The abundant wildlife and rich fertile waters of the Chapleau River produced a hunting and fishing camp which would become well known all over North America. Today the family tradition lives on. Their support of conservation and wildlife management over the years has allowed them to maintain the high success rate that their customers enjoy today. Expert fishing and hunting skills have been passed down to the new owners who invite you to come to Kanipahow Wilderness Resort for a hunting and fishing vacation of a lifetime.

Located on the south-east end of Chapleau Lake, Kanipahow Resort’ customers enjoy many miles of the famous Chapleau River and the many lakes which the river runs through. Walleye, Northern Pike and Perch are abundant while adjacent lakes and streams have healthy populations of Speckled Trout (Brook Trout). Kanipahow Resort is also at the doorstep of the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve which is the biggest game preserve in the world. Our location is called the Black Bear capital of the world. It’s easy to see why we have a high success rate for our Fall Black Bear hunt. We also see this success in our moose hunts.
