Hi, I am looking for info on water taxis on Lake Temagami. I have searched this site and other Temagami sites and have sent some emails but have had no responses.

Does anyone have some names, phone numbers and reliable email addresses for people offering water taxi services.

Thanks in advance.

Boat Line Bay (705)237-8970

Loon Lodge (I don't know their number)

Both offer dependable, courteous service. Best to call ahead for information and reservations.

I was just reading this list and I though I would suggest another taxi's name. Dean Potts of Bear Island. I am not sure if he still runs the taxi, as it's been over a year since I have been home, however here is the number 705-237-8955.
