The ultimate fly-in fishing adventure targeting Big Lake Trout and so much more.

Located on the edge of the barrens, just below the Arctic Circle, Point Lake’s crystal clear waters are home to an impressive population of lake trout. Here, wildlife roam freely across and awe-inspiring landscape. Nestled in this natural beauty is our lodge, a gateway to extraordinary outdoor adventures.

Our season starts with guided fishing trips, where trophy lake trout are hungry to strike. As summer begins to wain, we offer a select number of land-based nature trips, timed specifically to coincide with the vibrant fall colours, wildlife migrations and northern lights displays, with fishing as an available option. This entire season unfolds in just ten short weeks, from July through September, so don’t miss your chance to be part of it.

Join us this year and enjoy the best of Canada’s Northwest Territories, and award-winning customer service all in the comfort of our lodge. Many guests, like George return year after year to experience it again – perhaps you’ll feel the call to return again too.
