Highlights
Outing Highlights
Horwood Lake — big Pickerel and pike on tap
Horwood Lake's 180 miles of shoreline are renowned for Pickerel (Walleye) and Northern Pike, with productive perch fishing as well — the lake is the main draw for anglers basing out of Cabin 8.
Fall Black Bear and Moose opportunities
The outpost operates in a region noted for fall Black Bear and Moose hunting; openings are limited and hunters are asked to contact the operator to arrange guided hunts and camp availability.
Boat‑access cottages and a full‑service marina
White Moose Outpost provides eight fully equipped housekeeping cottages, showers, a gift/snack shop and a marina that offers boat rentals, bait and fuel — the outpost is designed as a self‑contained base for remote recreation.
What the day feels like
A week that moves at lake time
A seven‑day rental from Cabin 8 is structured around the lake: arrive by boat to the Outpost's marina, settle into a housekeeping cottage, rig a boat from the full‑service marina and spend days chasing Pickerel, Pike or exploring the shoreline — evenings are for cleaning fish, resupplying at the snack shop, and planning the next day's run.
