Blachford Lake Lodge
Welcome to Blachford Lake Lodge, your home away from home in the serene, Canadian north. Blachford Lake Lodge is located in the rugged wilderness of Northern Canada, in superb Aurora-watching country. Perched on a rock knoll overlooking Blachford Lake, it is a half-hour bush-plane from the city of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Blachford Lake Lodge is located on Chief Drygeese territory, the traditional land of Yellowknives Dene First Nation Akaitcho, Treaty 8 territory.
Many miles from roads, or national suppliers of electricity and water, our lodge nonetheless provides many of the benefits of a luxury hotel, with the priceless addition of a pristine wilderness environment, unpolluted by artificial light or noise, the perfect setting for watching the Aurora Borealis (also known as the Northern Lights).
Summer activities include fishing, SUP boarding, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, motor boating, interpretive tours, bird watching, plant and animal identification. Winter activities include cross-country skiing (20 km groomed trails), snowshoeing, hiking, snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice skating, fat tire biking, igloo building, kick sledding, and quinzhee or igloo building.
The lodge has been in operation since 1981 and was recently acquired by Arctic Kingdom Polar Adventures. In 2011, Blachford Lake Lodge was pleased to host the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as part of the 2011 Royal visit to Canada.
