About Blachford Lake Lodge
|
As the premiere remote fly-in lodge in the Northwest Territories, we are dedicated to service. We are the only full season lodge in the vicinity of Great Slave lake. Only twenty minutes south of Yellowknife by bush plane, the lodge is ideally situated for anyone seeking a remote northern adventure. Guests from around the world take in the splendour of the great Canadian Taiga all year long.
Accommodation
The fly-in lodge, was started in 1981 and is proudly locally owned and operated. The resort sits at the west end of a remote 17 kilometre long lake, just north of the east arm of Great Slave Lake. Accommodations for 35 include 5 rustic but comfortable log cabins and a main lodge with full bathroom facilities. A traditional 18' teepee, BBQ and picnic area, and open decks are available for various activities. Guests can enjoy our sauna and outdoor hot tub.
The post and log building is filled with light and breeze in summer and in winter the warm scent of the wood fires heat the lodge to perfect comfort. The main lodge is the only lodge in the Northwest Territories with full service facilities in winter and summer, including hot showers and running water, full electricity, fully stocked bar, and a high calibre chef providing gourmet meals.
Lodge bedrooms are dressed with down duvets. The lounges are filled with comfortable furniture. There are also five rustic but comfortable cabins, comprising the 'Old Town' area of the facility. The cabins can host from four to five people each in bunk style accommodations. Cabins are heated with wood fireplaces, and have propane lights and a great view of the lake. There are outhouses located near each cabin, and the farthest is no more than a couple of minutes walk from the main lodge where full washroom facilities are available 24 hours per day.
Activities
Experience unforgettable fishing north of 60 in the pure, clean waters of Blachford Lake Lodge. Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Walleye (Pickerel) and Whitefish are in abundance, and some of them so big you won't believe your eyes. For 25 years, Blachford Lake Lodge has been a haven for great catch and release fishing. Our guides can introduce you to the best techniques and make suggestions for maximizing you chances for success. You are invited to use the boats and outboard motors on your own or with a Blachford guide. Rod and reels are available to rent and lures and tackle and lure kits can be purchased at the Lodge. Fishing Licenses can be purchased at the Lodge or in Yellowknife before you arrive.
There are a wide variety of "self propelled" activities in summer. Guests can try their hand at canoeing, sea kayaking, hiking, exploring, swimming, arts and crafts, pleasure boating, or shore fishing. Any of these activities can be 'self-guided' adventures, or you may elect to do them with our of the Lodge staff guides. If you are an ambler or paddler, amateur or pro, you will enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Blachford Lake.
Summer is a great time to try and catch the Northern Lights. Starting as early as the end of August, displays of aurora borealis can be seen extending from the northern sky into the south, with the effect of reflection on the lake making for breathtaking beautiful displays. With shorter night time darkness in summer, the chances of seeing northern lights are slightly less than winter, and most guests who wish to make the most of their chances to see the amazing auroras will come for a minimum of five days.
