Located on the Clear Water river is at the lower end of Mystery Country. Similar to Dafoe Lake it lies about 70 air miles to the south east of Thompson.

This lake is separated by a set of rapids that only allow access to the lower lake by a portage trail of about a 3rd of a mile. Giving opportunity to experience seeing moose, wolves or even wandering Black Bear. Thus the name of one of Mystery Country’s finest Northern and Walleye fisheries.

The tumbling rapids allow for fishing action like you have never experienced unless you have been one of the fortunate few! The two resident Eagle families that make Bearhead their summer home are possibly the only other competition for the hundreds of fish trying to traverse the rapids. Evidence of an early dwellers fishing circle lies beneath on the rock-strewn bottom, that can be seen when the water is low enough.

The cabin situated on an island about three quarters of a mile from the rapids, is made from the white spruce that tower straight as an arrow along the lower lake portage trail. Evidence of the hard work that must have been done still lies in the underbrush as you walk the path that early travellers navigated in days gone by. The ridgepole that supports the roof overhead makes you wonder how they ever managed to lift it there. The rustic construction of Bearhead cabin is modernized with hot & cold running water, hot shower, propane lights, fridge, stove, gas grill and satellite phone.

2001-2002 saw the old outboard motors replaced with newer four stroke Evinrude motors.

The pleasure of being able to back troll without the smell of a two-cycle smoke is a welcome improvement to our guest’s enjoyment. With three boats at the main camp and another four on the lower lake there is no shortage of equipment for groups of eight or less. Continuing improvements will be done as funds become available. Planned for 2004 is the addition of an extra propane fridge and renovations to the veranda.
