Stay close to the water. Explore the North.
Bay Lake Inn takes its name from the water right at the heart of Latchford — the Latchford Waterfront on Bay Lake, a scenic spot with a beach, boardwalk, and dock just steps from where you'll be staying.
Latchford is a small town in Northeastern Ontario known for its scenic landscapes and its proximity to the Montreal River and the Temagami wilderness, with roots going back to the logging era. It's a place people pass through — and a place worth stopping for.
