Highlights
Outpost Highlights
Pickerel, Northern Pike and Perch on Horwood Lake
Horwood Lake, with roughly 180 miles of shoreline, is renowned for exceptional pickerel (walleye) and northern pike fishing; perch are also commonly caught.
Fall black bear and moose opportunities
The area around the outpost offers fall black bear and moose hunting; the region is well known for its big‑game opportunities and the camp reports limited openings for guided hunts.
Boat‑access cottages and a full‑service marina
The outpost is a boat‑access only retreat with eight fully equipped housekeeping cottages, showers, a gift/snack shop and a marina that provides boat rentals, bait and fuel — a compact service hub for remote lake access.
What the day feels like
What a week at Cabin 9 feels like
A seven‑day rhythm anchored at a single cottage: days launched from a marina by boat, hours spent working a shoreline for pickerel and pike or heading into the backcountry for guided hunts, and evenings back at a fully equipped cabin with shower and basic provisions on hand. The White Moose Wilderness Outpost is designed to be a remote basecamp — simple, serviceable and focused on the lake and the land it serves.
