Outpost Plan Accommodations
On July 9th, 2005 our outpost camp on Kamuchawie Lake was destroyed by forest fire. Erin and I had a choice. We could sit around and stew about loosing a beautiful camp on a spectacular lake or we could put our noses to the grindstone and get busy rebuilding the place. The decision was not difficult. In typical Laurie River Lodge fashion we decided to rebuild and rebuild in a big way. The first step was to clear the burned trees away. After clearing away the dead trees we began construction on a new 24' by 32' ultra modern outpost cabin.
We have long envisioned having a nicer more modern camp on Kamuchawie Lake and this was our opportunity. We decided that if we were going to rebuild Kamuchawie Outpost we were going to build the most deluxe outpost in northern Manitoba. After the burned trees were cleared away it became obvious that moving the camp about 200 feet up the hill would offer an unbelievable view of the entire North end of Kamuchawie Lake. The early morning view from the 8' by 32' sun deck is nothing short of breathtaking. We also decided that today's fishermen – yes even outpost fishermen – are not quite as rugged as they used to be. The old bunk house and outhouse routine just doesn't cut it anymore.
With that in mind we built the new cabin with 3 private bedrooms, a fully modern bathroom and, most importantly, a self contained kitchen with refrigerator, propane freezer and 4 burner propane stove with oven. The propane barbeque on the front deck does a great job on steaks. A 24' deep sand point well supplies crystal clear water for the kitchen and a 40 gallon propane fired hot water heater supplies piping hot water for bathroom and kitchen sinks as well as the shower. A 12 KW generator provides plenty of power to run the entire camp and the Drolet Wood Stove keeps things cozy even on those sometimes chilly northern Manitoba nights.
We are running 16' Alumarine Boats with 20 HP Yamaha Motors. The fishing is exceptional for Trophy sized Northern Pike and Lake Trout on the main lake and Walley via a short portage to Secret Lake.
This is truly the most beautiful lake in Northwestern Manitoba. If you like to fish outpost camps now, more than ever, Kamuchawie Lake should be on your must fish list.
