We did not pick the location of our lodge by chance. It was the result of several years of extensive searching for the best hunting and fishing location in the Northwest Territories. This is when we found Point Lake, a northern gem, a lake teeming with trophy fish and caribou traveling along time-honoured migratory paths. In the summer, the sun never sets and in the fall the aurora borealis is often seen dancing across the sky. Our lodge is located on the west end of Point Lake, just 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle.
