Enjoy a lodge-based getaway for a reprieve from the stresses of modern-day life! If you are after an active adventure or are looking to relax and luxuriate in an unrivalled natural and untouched setting, this is the trip for you. Whether you choose to stay close to the lodge or venture farther afield, canoes, kayaks, fishing boats, and guided tours are all available at no extra cost.
Day 1: Individual journey to Frances Lake. Meeting point is at the boat ramp near the campground. Here we will pick you up by motorboat and bring you to the lodge, what takes about 30 minutes. If you prefer to see the Yukon from the air, ask us about floatplane flights from Whitehorse. At the lodge you stay in your private cozy log cabin. Professionally prepared meals are served in the main building which boasts an awesome view of the Logan Mountains. In the same building we also have a bright and comfortable living room with a small library.
Days 2 to 3: The days at Frances Lake offer you a wide variety of adventures. You may enjoy them at your own leisure or join any or all of our offered activities: Guided excursions by boat to the abandoned trading post of the famous Hudson’s Bay Company, old trapper cabins and scenic bays, ponds and rivers. Fishing boats give you a chance to try your luck at landing lake trout, northern pike, arctic grayling and bull trout (guided or on your own). Canoes and kayaks offer you ample opportunities to explore the surroundings of the lodge on your own after we have shown you the basics of paddling. Bald eagle, loon, beaver and moose are often seen in this area. A hidden waterfall or a vast delta teeming with birdlife can be visited during your stay. Short hiking trails have been established near the lodge for your convenience. An open air rest area with a barbecue invites you to take in the magnificent view while you relax, chat, read or write.
Our full-time chef prepares excellent meals using plenty of fresh produce and locally grown lettuce for you to enjoy when you return to the lodge after a day filled with exciting adventures. And remember that this unique wilderness lodge caters to only a few guests at a time, offering an experience you will never forget! Let us spoil you at Frances Lake Wilderness Lodge and enjoy the remote wilderness!
Day 4: After breakfast you will leave the lodge and we bring you back to the boat ramp, from where you continue your individual travels.
Longer stays are available - please inquire for details.
