 Welcome to our Lodge

For over thirty years it has been our passion to share this spectacular part of the world, and our passion continues to grow with each new and returning guest.  We welcome you to be our guest this season and share in the camaraderie that keeps people returning. We have been offering packages to outdoor enthusiasts for over thirty years and provide guests with expert knowledge in a fun and safe environment.

“People come as guests and leave as friends.” People come as guests and leave as friends.”  This slogan exemplifies a large reason why so many guests come back to fish and join us on our Arctic Photography Workshop.  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.

Camaraderie

Relaxing in the lodge.

Our collection of northern books range from historical accounts of early explorers surviving in the Arctic, stories on notorious bush plane pilots to books on Arctic plants and animals. 

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. Our 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, 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.
