Wildlife & Nature Photography

Capture Your Memories and Traditions

Our private slice of Ontario, Canada, has been drawing photographers for decades. Whether you're tracking spring wildlife with professional photography gear or want to capture a memory with your phone, Young's Wilderness Camp puts you in position for those perfect North Woods shots.

Year-Round
Photography Opportunities

The changing seasons at Lake of the Woods create a shifting canvas for photographers. Spring brings an explosion of wildlife activity as bears emerge along the shoreline and osprey dive for their morning catch. 

Summer's long days offer extended golden hours perfect for wildlife photography. Watch bald eagles and loons through your lens. Moose and deer emerge at dawn and dusk for the perfect picture.

Autumn comes with colours that create spectacular opportunities for photographers. You’ll find wildlife foraging against this brilliant backdrop, creating once-in-a-lifetime shooting opportunities.

Prime Photography Locations

Our private island setting in Stevens Bay offers photographers unique opportunities. The protected waters create stable shooting platforms, and the countless small islands provide distinct vantage points for landscape and wildlife photography. The old logging trails lead to hidden viewpoints, and miles of pristine shoreline ensure you'll always find fresh perspectives for your photos.

Photography Tips from Our Staff

Drawing on decades of experience in these woods, our staff can help create the perfect shot. We can direct you to active eagle nests and wildlife hotspots. Early morning and evening hours typically offer the best light and wildlife activity, and our protected bay often stays calm enough for perfect reflections.
