For those wanting to fly and drive, Halifax International Airport lies about 3 hours north of the lodge, and has all major rental car agencies.
For the current moment, we recommend taking the route using Hwy. 101 rather than the South Shore route using Hwy 103 due to the deteriorated condition of Hwy 203 between Shelburne and Trout Point. If already travelling the South Shore, Trout Point is about 55 minutes from the Shelburne/Ohio exit off of Highway 103, the route south from Halifax. Take the road towards the Ohios.
The Lodge can be reached by car from either Shelburne or Yarmouth. The Lodge is remote, and access is by a 3-mile long dirt-and-gravel road. The Trout Point Road lies off of the East Branch Road, which is off of Highway 203. Driving Directions appear at the bottom of this page.
