Cedar Ridge Lodge is the hub of our operation and is located at the trails head of our network. This allows for easy access for checking in & out and is also home to the best home cooking found in the North. Guests from all over the world including Finland, England, Baffin Island and New Zealand have visited Cedar Ridge Lodge to explore the beauty and splendor this wonderful rugged countryside has to offer.
Guests who choose the backcountry lodge ride can expect to ride 3-4 hours per day and return to the lodge every night to enjoy all the modern conveniences associated with a full service lodge. Comfortable accommodations, hot & cold running water, showers, flushing toilets and a full service dinning hall serving up some of the best home cooked meals found in the north.
Mealtime is special at the lodge with breakfast & dinners being full course, excellent quality, and are served family style. Second & third helpings are the norm and you'll still have room for dessert, as you'll work up quite an appetite just being in the clean, clear high country air and riding all day.
Our guests who come to ride engage in a multitude of activities including remote wilderness angling & fully guided eco-tour wildlife photo safaris. A typical day begins with a hearty early morning breakfast, while the guides feed & saddle the horses. Lunch will be packed in our saddlebags, and then we'll mount up and be off for a day of riding, sightseeing or some fishing if you like. We'll return to camp each evening in time for dinner.
Non- riders can also enjoy the lodge just experiencing the true northern setting of a remote lodge. They can hike the trails, sit on the dock and read a book while listening to the loons or rent a boat and try there hand at catching a walleye, big northern pike or small mouth bass in our main lake. There is a brook trout stream located nearby and that provides hours of enjoyment for the avid angler. Canoes, horseshoe pits and a beach are also available.
Kids are welcome in our camps. This is a great way to share a true wilderness adventure with your family without having to rough it on your own. Wyndy River provides lodging, meals, gentle trail riding horses, professional certified guides, and everything necessary to make your wilderness horseback vacation safe and enjoyable. You provide your personal gear (clothes, boots, and hat) fishing equipment and we provide the rest. Lodge rides can vary from 2 to 5 days in length and we can accommodate most any size group. After reservations are made, we'll send you a detailed suggested list of clothing and items to bring on your trip.
