One of the most compelling ways to experience Canada is by float plane. During this fly-in adventure, discover Aikens Lake Lodge in the Atikaki Provincial Wilderness Park, a large region that is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation bid to protect the boreal forests and woodland caribou of eastern Manitoba. The lodge sits amongst a beautiful birch stand along a sandy beach on the north shore of Aikens Lake.
Follow in the footsteps of the fur traders who portaged their canoes around rapid waters, listen for the howling wolves and indulge in scrumptious shore lunches. Learn about the innovative ways this wilderness lodge is practicing sustainability, far from the stress and noise of urban cities.
The 4,000 Sq Ft lodge houses a professional kitchen, spacious dining room with woodstove lounge and features panoramic views of the lake. Also attached is the air conditioned Clubroom and tavern (named Big Molly's Bar) where fun and celebrations are isolated from the guest cabins. This great meeting place reunites our guests and our staff on a nightly basis. All packages include transportation from Winnipeg, chartered flight to the lodge, accommodations and delicious meals!

Boardwalk Chalets
Our amazing new log cabins are appropriately called the "Boardwalk" cabins. The first thing people notice about our new cabins is the sheer size of them.
