Hawk Air
Hawk Junction, Ontario
Family-run fly-in outfitter operating 16 remote outpost camps in northern Ontario near Wawa, targeting walleye, pike, and trout.
Overview
Hawk Air Fly-In Vacations is a family-operated outfitter based at Hawk Junction, Ontario, approximately 20 minutes east of Wawa. The company has been providing fly-in fishing and hunting vacations for over 30 years, operating a fleet of float planes including a Turbine Otter and a Cessna 180 to serve guests across remote northern Ontario wilderness.
The operation currently runs 16 remote outpost camps, as well as lodges and private camps in the surrounding region. In addition to fishing, Hawk Air offers fly-in service for moose hunters and provides air charter and sightseeing flights. A short-stay option branded as a "Micro Vacation" allows guests to book a 2-night fly-in fishing getaway.
Highlights
The Fishing
Hawk Air's outpost camps target four primary species: walleye, northern pike, speckled trout (brook trout), and lake trout. Camps are spread across a variety of remote lakes, each offering different structure and character — from river-like lakes with shallow weedy bays to deeper, clearer trout waters. Many locations include access to secondary lakes via short portages, giving anglers the option to fish multiple bodies of water in one trip. Guests fish self-guided from boats, and the camps are set up to support full days on the water.
Several lakes within the operation lie inside or adjacent to the Chapleau Game Preserve, where wildlife sightings are common. Anglers have reported walleye up to 5 pounds, northern pike up to 40 inches, and lake trout at a number of designated trout camps.
Accommodations
Outpost camps range from two-bedroom to three-bedroom frame and log cabins. All camps include screened windows, foam mattresses on bunks, a wood stove for heat, propane lighting, a large refrigerator, a four-burner cook stove with oven, a propane grill on an outside deck, and a full complement of dishes, pots, and pans. Some camps, such as Pichogan, feature upgrades including hot and cold running water with a shower and a generator for powering lights and charging electronics. Meals are self-catered; guests bring and prepare their own food. Flight to and from the cabin is included in the booking.
