Getting to know the ViaRail train stop of Flindt Landing, NW Ontario
Getting to know the ViaRail train stop of Flindt Landing, NW Ontario.
Getting to know the ViaRail train stop of Flindt Landing NW Ontario. This place is not a community in the classical sense of the term. It is a train stop, where the ViaRail train stops to pick up or drop off. There is a fishing camp here, with cabins and supplies where adventurers fish for a week. It is accessible by boat and by train. It is isolated and provides remote fishing adventures without the high cost of flying into a camp. I was on the train, going west, when we picked up five guys and their supplies and even a canoe in the middle of the night from one of these camps. Transporting the canoe cost them $100. It sounds exciting. These camps are connected to Sioux Lookout and Winnipeg and even to Toronto to the east. It is 30-60 minutes from Sioux Lookout. (There are some more pictures at the end of this article.)
