Viking Island & Outposts
Hugh and Craig Carlson grew up on Douglas Lake in Woodland Caribou Wilderness Park west of Red Lake. They used boats and floatplanes to get around and learned to fish for walleye, northern and lake trout as young kids.
12 different Remote Cabins - Viking Outposts
Our outposts are spread out over a huge area north and west of Red Lake. Over the past 50 years, Hugh, Craig, and their father, Arthur Carlson, handpicked the lakes to build on. They carefully picked the cabin location on each lake with safety and comfort in mind. The lakes they found offer a great variety of fishing habitats. Each location has its own charm and draws its guests back year after year. All lakes team with walleye and northern. Some of the deeper lakes have lake trout. Plan your fishing adventure with Hugh and Craig. They know this country.
A Unique Fishing Camp - Viking Island Lodge
Our fishing camp is a small fly-in resort dedicated to fishing. It is located on Douglas Lake and surrounded by a group of accessible lakes which offer a great variety of adventures. The atmosphere here will take you back a few years. A wood cook stove warms the kitchen. Hand hune log cabins built completely on site by us fit into the wilderness nicely. The island has a maximum of 24 guests per week so this is not a big time operation. Our schedule is relaxed and we are always ready to help plan another adventure your style.
