About this property

Kantcha Ketchum Fishing Lodge - The Best Fishing Camp in Hopedale/Delacroix area

This is a Fishing Lodge and ideally suited for up to 8 anglers. The accommodations are focused around fishing and this should be considered when deciding whether or not to bring children. Unfortunately, Hopedale canal does occasionally contain alligators and snakes so swimming or children playing on the dock is highly discouraged.

Access to the Lodge is by boat only. If you want to rent the Lodge for charter trips such as fly fishing charters, arrangements can be made for Capt. Pat to transport or leave a boat for your use to access your vehicle. Additional fees may apply. Inquire with details when making reservations.

Kantcha Ketchum is a 1568 sq. feet, 4 bedroom, 2 bath Lodge with central heat and air, large kitchen/dining room, large family/game room with large screen TV and card table. Full kitchen includes ref., stove, microwave, dishwasher and all pots, pans, utensils, etc. All linen supplied.
The 1200 sq. ft. covered/elevated patio includes barbecue pit, boilers/fryers, hammock, swings and fish cleaning station and 50 foot boat dock. Electric cargo lift to patio. Additional dock space may be available with prior approval.

This is the best fishing camp you will find in the Hopedale/Delacroix area. Fisherman's Paradise is an understatement. Fully equipped with everything you will need to clean and cook your daily catch and all the comforts to relax and commensurate with your fishing buddies while sharing a fishing story or two.

You can launch your boat and park at the back down at "Pip's" which is 3 blocks from Hopedale Canal or travel down to the end of the road to Hopedale Marina which is approximately 1 mile. Both launches charge $10 for the back down ramps. Hopedale Marina is extra convenient because you can pick up your bait, ice and forgotten fishing tackle plus get latest fishing tips from the marina operators.

Security cameras are placed above the front and side entrances. These are motion sensitive cameras and do not capture any activity in the camp or on the mid level porch.

Best Camp in the marsh

I could not think of a better fishing camp to stay in for the weekend. Location was close enough to the boat launch, marina, and fishing spots but secluded enough for peace and quiet. The camp itself was very comfortable and very well stocked. Capt Pat's communication was quick and his service was top notch. Thank you!

Perfect place in Hopedale!

Captain Pat was waiting for us to arrive as usual :) This camp is in the perfect location and is so well stocked you will want for nothing! We love this place and have stayed several years in a row. We are returning next month for another stay. Can't say enough good things about the owner or the camp.
