Yellow Dog Lodge is unique being within a short distance of Yellowknife, a 20 minute flight, keeping your air charters costs down, while still being immersed in the wilderness.  For the true adventurists you can reach the lodge via skis or snowmobile in the winter, although, guests are flown in via ski plane or float plane in the summer.

This is one of only a few remote, wilderness lodges catering to winter guests in the Yellowknife region.  The aurora here is breathtaking and clientele come from all over the world to witness it.  The demand for aurora viewing is high with September already fully booked along with a waitlist.  Of course, there are other winter activities to be enjoyed as well, including snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and ice fishing. 

Yellow Dog Lodge straddles Duncan and Graham Lakes providing a unique opportunity for guests to sport fish or canoe either lake, as well as having the option to fish multiple other rivers and lakes in the area.  As you can imagine, the fishing doesn’t get much better than this for Lake Trout, Arctic Grayling, Northern Pike and more.  Bookings for this season are stronger than ever; along with new clientele coming in, many guests come back year after year.    

This unique location situated between the two lakes lends itself to unforgettable views, as well as increased privacy for guests.  The outdoor improvements are extensive providing ample opportunities for guests to be immersed in nature; from sitting on one of the many decks enjoying food and drink to sitting in the hot tub gazing at the aurora to lounging in the heated gazebo on the water’s edge to telling stories and roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, as you can imagine, the memories made won’t soon be forgotten.     

Yellow Dog Lodge has solid infrastructure to accommodate just the perfect amount of guests.  It provides a profitable business without sacrificing the wilderness, peace and quiet and still affording guests breathing room.  Having said that, if you have big dreams this property does have the space to make it happen with over 6 acres of lease land taking in approx. 790 ft. of waterfrontage (240 meters).  Take a look at the improvements tab for more detailed information surrounding buildings and improvements.  There are even two wall tent floating platforms – talk about mobile glamping!  Guests can float off to a secluded bay for the evening while fishing right from their bedroom.  What a super neat experience!  This could be just the beginning of endless glamping possibilities!
