Meals
Taste Temagami
At Smoothwater, each meal is a celebration of the land that nourishes us.
We tell Northern stories through our food - embracing wild ingredients, traditional knowledge, and classic Canadian recipes such as tourtière, Trapper’s bread, cattail on the cob, and strawberry-rhubarb pie.

Dining Environment
Meals are served in the dining lodge, where you can explore northern culture through the art, books, and people that inhabit it. The library features Temagami- and canoe-specific literature, and the paintings on the walls are windows into the wild. Our wraparound deck provides a superb view of a thriving wetland lake.
By early July, the scent of water lilies wafts over the lake, and if you look closely you can see loons nesting in the bay nearby. If you’re lucky, you may also see herons, bald eagles, beavers, otters, and turtles.
