Traveling to KaBeeLo

Every year we asked the "best way" to get to KaBeeLo Lodge.  There are of course several answers to that question! 

For most guests, the easiest and most convenient option is to drive, while others prefer to arrive by plane.  Listed below is a sampling of options.

The recommended route is to drive from International Falls/Fort Frances (on the Minnesota Ontario border) to KaBeeLo Lodge. All of it is paved highway except the last 38 miles which is a two-lane gravel road.

Once across the border:

1. Go east on Hwy. 11 to Hwy. 502
2. Drive North on Hwy. 502 to Hwy. 594 & go into Dryden
3. From Dryden take Hwy. 17 west to Vermillion Bay & Hwy. 105
4. Head north on Hwy.105 to Ear Falls
5. Turn right on Hwy. 657/Goldpines Road (Intersection with "4-Seasons Tackle Shop") in Ear Falls & FOLLOW SIGNS & POWER LINES to KaBeeLo Lodge

From Hwy 657 - all gravel road:  Travel about 1 mile along 657, then left onto Wensaga rd (signed).  Travel ~ 1/2 mile, then left onto South Bay Rd (signed).  From here it's ~37 miles to our driveway (signed).  Be aware & careful of logging trucks!

If arriving by car, you will have no problem getting gasoline or diesel products. Most suppliers will take credit cards or U.S. Dollars.

Major airport destinations to consider are Kenora (Ontario, Canada), Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada), International Falls (Minnesota), or Duluth (Minnesota).

Each airport has car rentals available. Driving time to the lodge is about 5 hours from International Falls and Winnipeg; 3 hours from Kenora and 7 hours from Duluth.

For those wishing to avoid any significant drive time, the recommended route is to fly from Winnipeg Manitoba, to Red Lake Ontario and charter KaBeeLo Airways, Ltd. to meet you in Red Lake Ontario.
