The O-Pee-Chee Lake Lodge was originally built on the edge of O Pee Chee Lake in
1945 by a Canadian WWII Veteran, Mr. Bert King. Bert purchased (10) acres of land
from the Crown and began the construction with his family and friends. Simple axes
and strong horses were used to clear the shoreline of tall pines, carve a 1 km roadway
to HWY #11 and construct the log cottages, barn and Main Lodge that stand today.
Bert owned and operated the hunting and fishing camp for 35 years and many
returning guests continue to share stories of Bert's excellent outdoor spirit and
enthusiasm.
O-Pee-Chee Lake Lodge (now known as Horizons North Fishing Resort) continues to
be one of Northern Ontario’s finest travel destinations in Canada's "Near North".
