One extremely important intangible in a wilderness lodge is size. Many Canadian lodges hold 40,50, even 60 people. As nice as they may be, it just doesn’t make sense to us to fly to a remote camp just to settle in with another horde of people. That’s what guests are trying to leave behind. If leaving the dock in the morning resembles rush hour in Chicago, what’s the point? Gangler’s Lodge has made camp size a priority and their philosophy is to keep their camps small. By limiting the main lodge to only 24 guests each guest is ensured the personalized attention he or she deserves. Each camp is designed to be unique in layout and flavor and all accommodations are 5 star and recognized as the finest in the North. The North Seal in itself is an exquisite experience. The ‘Land of Little Sticks,’ it has a beauty that is unique. We are now offering at the main lodge an amazing assortment of experiences to add to your stay. Canoeing, kayaking, esker tours, bear and wolf viewing, photography, birding, mountain biking, nature tours, your choices are many. Whether you are at Gangler’s on a fishing trip or an adventure experience, enjoy the full flavor of the unique North Seal region in a trip we will customize to your wishes. Activities: Mountain Biking The North Seal River region of Northern Manitoba has long been heralded as one of the last remaining pristine areas in North America. Located almost 200 miles from the closest road, this area is accessible only by airplane, and primarily by floatplane. Designated a protected Canadian Heritage River system, it is a confluence of 12 other rivers and drainages merging into the North Seal as it winds its way to Hudson Bay. It is a unique, beautiful area and its uniqueness is a natural to enjoy by mountain bike. The key feature to the NSR area is the sand eskers. Sand eskers are unique, geological formations formed by run-off from the rivers under glaciers that long-ago dominated this area. Rising 200-300’ in the air and running continuously for tens of miles, they are a natural travel route for the moose, bear, wolves, and other animals that call this area home. This terrain is ideal for exploring by mountain bike. The surrounding area is the last vestiges of the Subboreal transitional forest. Resembling a fine parkland manicured only by Nature’s hand, it is perfect for offshoot explorations and side routes. To access this remote frontier requires a 5 star outfitter, ensuring exploration at its finest level with professional expertise. Ganglers, renowned with over 30+ years of outfitting in the remotest reaches of Northern Canada, is the ONLY outfitter qualified for this challenge.
