Are you looking for a fishing or hunting adventure?
If so, Peterson's Point Lake Lodge is where you can reel in a 40 pound
lake trout and hunt for Central Canadian Barrenground Caribou.
It's not just flying 200 miles across the tundra in a bush plane to Peterson's
Point Lake Lodge that gives you the sense of adventure, it's experiencing the best
lake trout fishing in the Northwest Territories and seeing the annual
caribou migration of the Bathurst Caribou herd.

THE LODGE
“People come as guests and leave as friends.” This
slogan exemplifies a large reason why so many guests come back to fish
and/or hunt. Since we only host a maximum of 10 guests at one time we
are able to get to know you on an individual basis. We dine together
in our main lodge and share personal stories and talk about the ‘one
that got away' in the comfort of our lounge. Our certified cook prepares
healthy meals and is considerate to guests who have special dietary
or health requirements.
After your fun-filled day you may want to enjoy a drink and sample
the cook's appetizers on the lodge deck or in the screened in gazebo;
or perhaps you might sit back and relax by the warmth of a wood-burning
stove and read the adventures of Samuel Hearne and Sr. John Franklin,
two famous explorers that traveled throughout the area.

OUR TEAM:
Quality leadership is an integral part of any great trip and is what
helps distinguish Peterson's Point Lake Lodge from the rest. Jim Peterson
has a hands-on approach to managing the family business. During our
fishing season most of his time is spent guiding. When Jim is not on
the water, he is performing routine maintenance on lodge equipment,
training new staff and he even preparing specialty northern dishes in
the kitchen. His wife, Margaret and daughter, Amanda, work on logistics;
you will either be greeted at the Yellowknife airport or see them at
the charter float base while Chad, Jim & Margaret's son can often
be found guiding.
The entire staff is integral to our operation. They are enthusiastic,
good-natured, dedicated and have diverse backgrounds as members of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police, biologists, cooks, teachers/educators,
fitness instructors, herbalists and explorers. They provide invaluable
insights to each trip. Perhaps most important is Peterson's Point Lake
Lodge guides' consideration for your safety. Our staff, is the first
in the Northwest Territories to receive their National Guide Certification.
