Adventure lodge on Blachford Lake

For the adventurous spirit looking to answer the call of the wild, this adventure lodge on Blachford Lake offers a variety of "all inclusive" adventure packages to suit every taste. Perfect for the family or the avid outdoorsman. During the summer season at this adventure lodge, enjoy the natural surroundings and clean clear air while you explore the lake by canoe or motor boat. Hike nature's untouched garden and learn to identify our abundant variety of flora, fauna and animals. Sit in our tipi and listen to the legends and history of our native Dene people learn their crafts and traditions. Fish the lake then learn how to smoke your catch in the traditional native way. At this lodge you'll find lake trout, northern pike and whitefish. Pickerel (walleye) can be fished on two adjoining lakes, Magrum and Grace Lake, a very short walkover from Blachford Lake. Our fishing guides can introduce you to the best techniques and make suggestions for maximizing you chances for success.

Winter months offer a different and exciting array of activities, such as cross country skiing on over 20 km of groomed trails, snowshoeing, ice fishing, snowmobiling and more. Learn winter survival skills by building a quinzee snow hut or try your hand at ice sculpting or dog mushing. The tipi is carpeted with spruce boughs and the center firepit provides the warmth and cozy atmosphere for our Dene Elders to share their legends and culture. The aurora borealis (northern lights) often dance across the sky in late August and March-April. They are one of God's greatest gifts to the north and they are perhaps the most spectacular natural phenomenon on earth.
