Under new ownership as White Moose Wilderness Outpost (formerly Horwood Outpost), Cabin 1 sits on the shores of Horwood Lake near Foleyet in Northern Ontario. The outpost is a boat‑access‑only retreat of eight fully equipped housekeeping cottages with showers, a gift/snack shop and a full‑service marina, and it serves as a base for week‑long fishing, fall bear and moose hunting, or simple wilderness relaxation.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LAKE

Horwood Lake — miles of shoreline and prime fishing

Horwood Lake offers extensive shoreline—about 180 miles—and is known for exceptional Pickerel (Walleye) and Northern Pike fishing; Perch are also common, making the lake a core reason guests come for a week of angling.

THE LODGE

Boat‑access cottages with marina services

The outpost comprises eight fully equipped housekeeping cottages with on‑site showers and a gift/snack shop, supported by a full‑service marina that rents boats and sells bait and fuel—everything a self‑sufficient, lake‑based stay needs.

THE SEASON

Fall hunting and limited openings

In addition to fishing, the area provides fall Black Bear and Moose hunting opportunities; the outpost notes the region’s strong reputation for moose and bear hunting and that openings at camp are limited.

What the day feels like

What a week at Cabin 1 feels like

A stay at Cabin 1 is a remoteness‑first experience: a week‑long, boat‑access retreat on Horwood Lake from which daily routines revolve around the water—launching a rented boat, casting for Pickerel and Pike, or heading out for guided hunting when in season—returning each evening to a fully equipped housekeeping cottage and the small services of the marina and snack shop.
