Family Owned & Operated
Gerry and I were young kids on an adventure that early spring day in 1949 when we motored east up the Winnipeg River.
Shouting over the rattle and roar of a boat motor that only dad could start and keep running–he entertained us with stories of the river's history. We were speeding along over water that took the voyageurs of the fur trade long days of hard and dangerous paddling to maneuver.
I didn’t realize it then but my dad was like those early pioneers. He had the courage and vision to see the promise of Pine Island.
Dad steered the boat into the bay that would become our landing. Then, as we stood on the shore the sun break through the trees, dad smiled and proclaimed that this was the spot where he would build his fishing camp.
My dad’s dream–the angler’s paradise of Pine Island Lodge–is our family’s passion.
We hosted out first anglers in 1950. This season, we are celebrating our 60th anniversary. We hope you'll join us.
Your hosts,
Brian and Barb Burges
