Tuckamore Lodge is located in the centre of a vast region of exceptional natural beauty. There are long stretches of sandy beach, rocky headlands that rise to incredible heights, and tiny outport communities tucked away in sheltered coves. The countryside teems with wildlife. Majestic moose, herds of caribou, and huge black bears roam the area in great numbers. The rivers and streams are home to the Atlantic Salmon, and the lakes and ponds are filled with trout - from pan size to record size. Southwest Pond, home to Tuckamore, is also home to several Bald Eagles, Loons and other birds of interest. Moose are plentiful and visit shores of the ponds almost daily. A quiet evening walk will take you past a beaver lodge or gentle river steady. For the photographer, Main Brook is a lifetime dream. Deep fjords cut into the rugged East Coast providing shelter for the villages with the ancient names of Harbour Deep and Hooping Harbour. This isolation has caused time, in many ways, to stand still, preserving these special places and a lifestyle unknown in the modern world. For the naturalist, Newfoundland and Labrador's boreal barrens offer rich diversity of wildflowers and plants. The variety is overwhelming and the colour spectacular. Migratory seabirds abound on the coastlines of a nearby ecological reserve. Kayaking can give you a closeup view of whales and icebergs. Whale watching is a Tuckamore speciality. Some of our guests have been returning to the Lodge year after year for prize-winning photos. Hare Bay has been noted for some of the best sighting opportunties on the Island. But summer is not the only time of the year for Tuckamore's wilderness opportunities. Take an afternoon to go ice fishing. Snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and all right here at the Lodge. For the more adventurous, an overnight trip in the country can be arranged. In addition to our two main lodges we also have two remote lodges for our guests. One is located on White's Arm Pond and offers the utmost in tranquility and peace. The other is a basic canvas camp in a setting of extreme beauty on the remote Grey Islands, 14 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. Our list of amenities include: Sauna Hot Tub Billiard Room Library Living Room with cable television Fitness equipment Canoes for paddling in Tuckamore Pond Extensive decks for relaxation with views of Tuckamore Pond Smoke free environment There is so much at Tuckamore that a week's stay will seem a few short days. Come and enjoy our hospitality and our country - you'll want to return.

Three of us went on this hunt several years ago (2004). We were to stay at the outpost camp. I wanted to bowhunt so my brother and his guide headed for the outpost while my guide had a few other ideas he wanted to try and we would then meet my brother and our other hunting pal later in the day. I saw nine moose before noon (and drew back on several just for the fun of it.) Getting to the outpost is a real experience in itself. A long truck ride down the highway leads to a logging road. Another long ride on the bumpy logging road and then you pack your gear on your back and take a two mile walk on a trail through the woods. Finally you reach a huge lake and take a 15 minute boat ride to the outpost cabin. Barb told my brother to pay attention while walking to the outpost as there are lots of moose in that area. He never even made it to the outpost! Halfway there he took a beautiful bull. I took a 36" bull on my third day & our third hunter passed up numerous moose in search of something bigger (he's already shot several large Alaskan/Yukon moose and would only take a real wall-hanger). We were treated like royalty and ate like kings! Barb let me bear hunt the rest of the week for the cost of a tag & would only have to pay if I took one ($400). There was a least 10 other hunters at the main camp and EVERYONE took a moose!!! If you have the chance to hunt with Barb at Tuckamore Lodge...don't hesitate!
