We are located 20km (12mi) east of Terrace Bay Ontario, 60 km (36mi) West of Marathon. A great stop over, conveniently located along Hwy 17 the Circle Tour Route of Lake Superior. Jackfish Lakes takes its name from the neighboring ghost town of Jackfish. Founded in 1890. It was in Jackfish that the MacKellar family, assisted by two Natives, staked property in 1871, which is believed to be the first gold discovered in Northwestern Ontaro. Jackfish Lake is actually one of the many beautiful bays of Lake Superior. Terry Fox swam in Jackfish Lake before continuing his Maraton of Hope. This sandy beach is dubbed the Terry Fox Beach. Our area is surrounded by numerous lakes, rivers and streams a great spot for fishing, hunting , canoeing, kayaking, picture taking and blueberry picking. Jackfish is where the last connecting spike was driven, connecting the railroads in eastern and western Canada. Take a walk around Sawmill Lake in the back or to Jackfish beach in the front.
