Aurora borealis viewing in northern Manitoba
|
|
Welcome to the largest winter lodge in Manitoba, Canada on Lake Athapapuskow. Accessible by air or by road, this lodge offers one of the best locations in the world for viewing the aurora borealis (northern lights). Just as breathtaking as the summer months, winter brings a whole new sense of adventure and thrill to northern Manitoba. In the cold winter evenings the aurora come out to put on one of the most awesome displays of nature. Sit out on the deck or enjoy the show from the outdoor hot tub. From the beauty of sparkling frozen waters, snow covered trees, icicles on rooftops, to the frolicking of wildlife as they leave behind their distinctive and enticing trails in the snow, nothing short of a winter wonderland unfolds. At the lodge there is never an opportunity to succumb to cabin fever. Besides viewing the aurora borealis, there are so many adrenalin pumping and heart pounding winter activities available that are sure to spark a little adventure in anyone. Just because summer ends and winter begins does not mean that you have to hang up your fishing rod for another year. The ice fishing at the lodge is excellent. The lodge also offers snowmobiling, dogsledding, trapline excursions, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, tobagganing and ice skating.

This lodge offers a unique way to rekindle the burning desire to fish. Lake Athapapuskow winter fishing has produced phenomenal results, including the World Record Burbot. Tackle the mammoth pike and trout like never before, while earning an even greater sense of achievement as you sit in your warm, cosy ice shack, knowing that you have tried and tested a true Canadian art, the art of ice fishing. At the end of the day come and enjoy a fine dinner in our dining room, and perhaps close your evening with a soak in our outdoor hot tub as you watch the aurora borealis dance above you. There is nothing more tempting than a walk into the crisp, cool air and then easing your way into an incredibly soothing whirlpool of warmth. And at the end of your soak, return to your toasty and very comfortable cabin for a good night's rest. After you have mastered the art of ice fishing and you are still craving a sense of excitement, try joining your guides on the snow-covered trails for a thrill like no other, snowmobiling. Whether you are riding to put on the miles, to simply spend time outdoors with family and friends, or perhaps to discover the beautiful frozen places found along the trails, you will always be assured of a winter getaway like no other. All you need to have with you to be welcomed on the trails is a commitment to safe riding practices and the common sense to ride within your own skill level.
