History
Established in 1951.
The original deed for the land on the east side of the lake was purchased by the Fullers in 1952, and a year later they opened “Fullers Iowana Camp”.
In 1972, Joyce and Leo Sylander took over ownership of Fullers Iowana Camp and ran the business until 1987 when it was purchased by Colin and Dorothy Ross.
In 2002 Tom and Judi Heitoff took ownership of the property and renamed to it’s current name “Pakwash Lake Camp”. Tom and Judi completed extensive renovations, added decks to some of the cabins and upgraded the road to get into the camp.
On April 21, 2006, Kim Budweg and Denis Grenier purchased Pakwash Lake Camp from Tom and Judi, and still operate it today. We strive to have a family fun fishing vacation spot.
Meet the Business Owner: Kim and Denis G.
Welcome to the Pakwash Lake Family!
Denis Grenier, known as “Mr. Fix It”, is hard working and newly retired from the local Red Lake Mines. When he’s not working, you can find him fishing with guests, or watching hockey on TV. He thinks computers and phones bite. Ask him where the fish are.
Kimby Budweg, known as the “Nana with Many Hats”. Full time Pakwash office secretary, and often just the glue that keeps things running smoothly. I love to fish as long as I’m catching, best of all is if I catch more fish then Denis and enjoy chatting and crafting.
Denis and Kimby have been together in the Red Lake, Ear Falls area since 1987. Having three wonderful children, who have all grown up and we now are blessed with 9 grandchildren. Corey, our youngest, loves to fish and hunt when he is not working. Corey, Jamie, Kenzlie and Kane, live in Ear Falls, Ontario and have become our best friends and love the Pakwash Lake way of life.
