Information

Summer is a magical time at Blachford Lake. The lake warms quickly, and all around the forest is bursting with new growth and life. Located 60 air miles southeast of Yellowknife, the lodge can only be reached by floatplane and is the only lodge on the lake. The pilot will provide a scenic flight to and from the lodge, and you’ll be amazed at the pristine Canadian wilderness and countless remote lakes that unfold beneath you. While the lodge is secluded, it is modern and complete with all the comforts of home.

If you’re a fisher you'll find lake trout and northern pike here, as well as walleye on two adjoining lakes. Your fishing guide will introduce you to the best techniques and make suggestions for maximizing your chances for success.  You’ll have full access to 16’ boats with 15 HP 4-stroke motors to head out for a day of fishing on the 25km long lake.  There are many sheltered bays and countless islands to try your luck for lakers and pike.  

There are also canoes and kayaks at the lodge for you to paddle around quietly, explore the shorelines, and look for wildlife and the many birds that call this area home.  Twice a day, there are interpretive hikes and programs that delve deeper into the human and natural history of this area.  Of course, you can always set out for day hikes on your own across the magnificent Canadian Shield.

By mid-August, when the skies begin to darken earlier in the evening, the aurora borealis (northern lights) often dance across the sky throughout the late summer and fall nights. The aurora is one of the most spectacular natural phenomena on earth, and this area is among the best in the world to view them consistently.

This secluded wilderness lodge destination is far away from the noise and bustle of the city and is the perfect Canadian adventure vacation in the Northwest Territories. It is ideal for couples, families, and even corporate groups or retreats.

There are six newly renovated guest rooms on the second floor of the main lodge with private washrooms (shower, toilet, sink). Unusual for such a remote facility, the washrooms not only have hot running water but also hotel-style toilets; you would hardly know they are the eco-friendly composting kind!

Lodge rooms are dressed with down duvets, and feature huge windows with expansive views, electrical outlets and in room thermostat.

There are two viewing decks upstairs and an outdoor hot tub. The main floor serves as the lounge, with bar, dining room and library. The main floor also houses the kitchen and a small office.

There are five newly renovated log guest cabins closer to the lake to choose from - separated for privacy. All cabins have electrical outlets, wood burning stove for heat, pillow-top mattresses with down duvets, large windows for aurora viewing and private washrooms with shower, toilet and sink.

The lodge and all cabins enjoy free wireless internet access. They are all non-smoking.

All meals are included, and gourmet meals are prepared fresh each day.  The lodge focuses on quality fresh food and even grows its own veggies onsite in its organic greenhouse.  The menus feature a tasty blend of Northern gourmet favorites. The talented chef creates superb menus with fresh seasonal vegetables and a variety of fresh fish, beef, lamb, and chicken to please every appetite. All dishes, from bread to desserts, are made on-site. The chef will gladly prepare your freshly caught fish, too.

The lodge is a licensed facility with a fully stocked bar and wine list. They maintain a selection of wines, beers, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Guide information

Two hours of guided fishing are included to introduce you to the lake and the best fishing spots. Fishing guides are available on all packages for an additional cost (4 hours @ $200 per person or 8 hours @ $300 per person). For non-fishers, two daily guided interpretive tours of two hours are included in the price.
