Duck Bay Lodge is a hosted boat-in fishing lodge on Hay Island in the southeast corner of Lake of the Woods near Morson, Ontario. It is a good fit for groups that want island privacy, modern boats, prepared meals, and lodge service without arranging a fly-in wilderness trip.
Guests drive to Duck Bay’s private landing in Morson, park there, and take a lodge transfer across Lake of the Woods to Hay Island. The transfer is approximately 20 minutes. This arrangement creates a remote island setting while keeping the arrival day relatively straightforward for travellers driving from the International Falls or Baudette border crossings.
The lodge accommodates up to 25 guests at a time in six lakefront cabins with private bathrooms. Published package information includes daily maid service, linens, fresh towels, breakfast and dinner, plus a shore lunch or picnic lunch. It is a fully hosted stay rather than a self-catered housekeeping-cabin model.
Duck Bay is promoted for walleye, muskie, northern pike, smallmouth bass, crappie, and lake trout. Standard fishing packages provide an 18-foot Lund Outfitter for every two guests, with a 50- or 60-horsepower four-stroke motor, Minn Kota bow-mount trolling motor, Lowrance Hook Reveal 9 fish finder, safety equipment, landing nets, and fuel. Guides are also available.
Duck Bay is especially appropriate for groups that want a polished Lake of the Woods fishing experience and do not want to pack meals, bedding, or a personal boat. Confirm current cabin availability, transfer arrangements, the appropriate boat assignment, guide availability, and package inclusions before booking.
