Small groups. Extraordinary Adventures.

Be transformed by the immensity of Canada’s Northwest Territories barrenlands, all the while enjoying award-winning customer service in the comfort of our lodge.

World-Class Trophy Lake Trout Fishing. Wildlife Photography Workshops. Hiking. Aurora viewing

Our packages are built around the changing of the seasons. Summer and fall happen all too fast – within ten weeks a year. Needless to say, it’s a short window to experience mother nature’s striking beauty. The seasons are short and intense – that’s life in the Arctic. We invite you to come and experience this spectacular place while staying in the comforts of our lodge. The experience may very well inspire you to return to do it all over again, just like George. We’re open July through September.

Featured Packages

Fishing

Trophy fish are aplenty. The biggest fish caught and released was a whopping 58 pounds. Join us this summer to see if you can break the current record!

Photography
