Here are some other things to know about Ojibway:

Lake Temagami averages around 70 degrees Fahrenheit but can warm to the upper 70's.

Cell phone service? No. Wifi, absolutely. Wireless internet access is available at the main lodge. We ask that guests be discreet when using it and not disrupt the wilderness experience for other guests.

Worried about bugs? Don’t be! All one- and two-bedroom cabins have screened porches. Blackflies are usually gone by mid to late June. Mosquitoes can hang around into July.

Ojibway’s Store:

You’ll find many useful, fun, and delicious treats. The store has in stock toiletries, snacks, soft goods (t-shirts, sweatshirts), and cold drinks, as well as loaner headlamps, walking sticks.

The South End of the Island

At the far end of the island lies Keewaydin Canoe Camp, a summer destination for young campers. There are tennis and a Northwoods basketball court at the Keewaydin end of the island. There are tennis rackets and basketballs, and baseball gear available in the Keewaydin office. There is ping pong in the lodge. Whenever Keewaydin campers are out on their canoe trips, it’s all yours to enjoy. Keewaydin also hosts lots of great family events throughout the summer. Ojibway guests are always welcome at these or any other times.

Regretfully…

Smoking and vaping at Ojibway are only allowed on the docks. Keewaydin is completely smoke-free.

Pets can’t be accommodated at Ojibway. (Our apologies to your four-legged family members.)

Scent-free Ojibway is a scent-free business, due to the health sensitivities of our staff, we ask guests to refrain from the use of perfumes or body colognes.
