Air

Little Red Air Service is a charter company that flies into Fox Lake year round and you need to book a plane in advance. Their phone number is (403) 927-4630.

The chartered fares are based on distance and size of plane. Here are the fares of the flights from Fort Vermilion to Fox Lake:

PLANE FARE
Cessna 206 (5 passenger) $224.70
Navaho (9 passenger) $374.50

It is recommended that you fly into the community on or before August 27. This will allow you the opportunity to settle in and unpack.

Winter Road

Access is usually from the end of December to March depending on the weather (the Peace River needs to be thoroughly frozen).

It takes approximately 3 hours to drive in from Fort Vermilion to Fox Lake or one hour from John DíOr Prairie.

There are no vehicle restrictions, but it is a good idea to own a truck.

Boat

It is possible to boat into Fox Lake from Garden River. There is a possibility to barge across the river at Little Red River Landing. If you are planning to use the barge, make sure in advance that the barge is running and that the road conditions are good.
