Reconnect with nature on this 5-day retreat to the stunning Northwest Territories. You’ll be whisked away on a scenic flight from Yellowknife into the heart of the rugged northern landscape. Leave behind the ordinary and enter a world where dramatic cliffs tower over crystal clear waters and the wildlife roams free.
Set on the east arm of Great Slave Lake, Frontier Lodge is the only gateway into the Thaidene Nëné — the sacred homeland of the Łutsël K’é Dene. Learn about the culture and traditions of the local Dënesųłıné people and gain a deeper connection to this vast and wild landscape, known as the Land of the Ancestors. Spend the days hiking along the beautiful Stark River, participating in traditional skills workshops or fishing in the clean waters. In the evenings, watch the sunset over the lake before retiring to your comfortable log cabin accommodations.
On the mythical East Arm of Great Slave Lake, Frontier Lodge has provided unrivaled freshwater fishing and wilderness experiences for the last 60 years.
