From the first time I meet Hugh at the dock, the annual trip to Viking Island has always been too long in coming and the shortest week of the year. Will be returning for my 4 th trip in 5 years. Hospitality, stories, and laughter have permeated the great fishing. With all that goes on the rest of the year,... More

The history of the cabins and lodge along with the many tales of days past only add to the wonder of this location. On my first visit with my two young sons not only was the staff there to help...

The terrific fishing has become secondary to the breathtaking beauty of just being there. You will never forget the choice of coming to Viking. The Carlsons have become family and the dozens of friendships made will be lasting. I have fished alot over the years- this is #1. Terry Desmond

The Carlson's have set up an amazing experience where you can bring your family or friends to experience some of Canada's wilderness and get far away from your daily routine. Every time we have visited we've... More

I went for the 10th straight year to Viking Island Lodge with my son and brother (and two other friends accompanied us this year). People vote with their feet, and I have consistently voted for Viking Island Lodge. My father used to take me and my brother here in the mid 1960's, and the place is still run by the... More

Viking Island is simply a magical place. You cannot describe it, you have to experience it. Pictures do not do justice! We cant wait for our return in June 2013!
