The Township of Pickle Lake is located at the end of highway 599 in Ontario. There is something exciting about 'the end of the road' and this phrase brings with it an image of wilderness. Our slogan of 'The Last Frontier' is truly the feeling that you get after you have traveled the distance to our community. Pickle Lake is at the end of the paved road, however, you can continue traveling north on a gravel road for another several hours. Although you may make that trip, you will only find more trees and lakes, as the last services are in Pickle Lake.We encourage you to come and explore the vast untouched virgin Boreal forests, go fishing in our many lakes for the great tasting walleye/pickerel, or fish for the large northern. Bird watchers will enjoy the bald eagles, owls and sandhill cranes, while hunters will look for moose, grouse or other game birds.
