The country
Reindeer Lake is a labyrinth of islands, bays, and channels on the Canadian Shield. The surrounding boreal is thick spruce, jack pine, and muskeg, cut by countless small drainages. Long, cold winters and reliably productive water make it one of Canada's classic wilderness lakes.
Why the show came here
It gave Season 10 a food-rich site with real winter teeth — plenty of shoreline to work, dense timber for shelter, and trout, pike, and whitefish through the ice. Historic fur-trade country: the lifeways here are well-documented for a reason.
Planner-relevant notes
Plan for freeze-up transition: two weeks where the lake is neither safely fishable open-water nor safely walkable. Position camp where you have both a summer shore fishery and access to a winter through-ice spot.
Field notes
- Muskeg travel burns calories fast — pick shoreline routes when you can.
- Bore through ice with a hand auger; test with a spud bar first.
- Whitefish through the ice are steady, low-effort protein.
