The Red River Camps, established in 1886, are nestled in the
Deboullie Township, a thirty-mile drive west of Portage Lake. Red
River has undergone extensive renovations in the past five years,
and their “comfy rustic” charm, delicious home cooking, and prime
location for fishing and hiking keep guests returning year after year.
