Domain Lake is 36 miles west of Red Lake, in a remote corner of Woodland Caribou Wilderness Park. The lake is 8 miles long with numerous bays and excellent fish habitat. The map below links to a larger version.

Domain is a picturesque lake with pine trees and a rocky shoreline. It is like a sanctuary; off the beaten path, so the chance of seeing any other visitors is uncommon, except of course Hugh flying in to drop off groceries or ice. The lake is within Woodland Caribou Provincial Wilderness Park.

Domain Lake Cabin can accommodate 8 people. It has the rustic feel of the Canadian bush, with a traditional log cabin combined with the modern conveniences of an adjacent shower house. This is our last remaining log cabin outpost, as well as the last log cabin that Hugh and Craig built together with their father, Arthur. The three used logs from around the lake to build the cabin in 1975. The island cabin is nestled in the trees, with the lake in sight and a short walk in any direction. A rock hill lines one side of the island behind the cabin and is ideal for bar-b-queuing with a view.

Domain Lake has primarily walleye and northern pike fishing, although lake trout can be caught in the deep southern basin. The lake has a lot of structure, with reefs excellent for jigging. The lake was named because of a great big island in the middle of the lake that serves as somewhat of a “large domain”. If you visit in the fall, you can enjoy picking the area’s abundant blueberries.

Notes from Roseanne:

Roseanne took her family to Domain Lake for 3 days. Her nephew caught the largest walleye of his life, 24.5 inches. The fishing was fantastic, the scenery beautiful and the company, the best. Roseanne recommends fishing on Domain.

Notes from Wave and Terry Marcsisak:

Domain LakeMother Moose with calf, Marciak


After a full day on the lake of seeing the beauty of the wilderness and catching the abundant fish available, what a way to relax and enjoy the beauty of a Canadian evening - Domain Lake provides such a place. (Be sure you enjoy it prior to the arrival of those Canadian mosquitoes)

This we determined was a rare shot of mother and calf feeding in a shallow bay on Domain. As we got closer, protective as any mother would be, she fled for the woods, but not before we got several snapshots. In the many return trips to Domain we have not seen another moose, therefore we count outselves fortunate to have observed this siting.
