Frances Lake Wilderness Lodge - one of Yukon's premier wilderness getaways - is situated in beautiful southeastern Yukon on a secluded lake nestled in the northern foothills of Canada's famed Rocky Mountains. Accessible only by water or air, the lodge offers a true respite from traffic, computers, headlines, and other stresses of modern-day life. Flora and fauna abound and the surrounding wilderness teems with wildlife invites exploration.

The Lodge's location near the site of the first Hudson's Bay Company trading post in the Yukon gives the lodge a rich historical resonance. One of the original Hudson's Bay cabins is rebuilt on the site of the Lodge and used as a guest cabin. Let the spirit and hardship of the early fur traders touch your soul.
Open summers and winters, Frances Lake Wilderness Lodge provides unparalleled opportunities for fishing, canoeing, hiking, wildlife viewing, photography, snowshoeing, and aurora viewing - to say nothing of just plain relaxing in comfort in an unrivalled natural setting. Whether you stay close to the lodge or venture farther afield, your visit to Frances Lake will seduce your senses, rejuvenate your body, invigorate your spirit, and nourish your soul.
All guests have unlimited use of the lodge’s canoes and kayaks, including equipment and free instruction - either on their own or with a guide. Qualified guides are happy to conduct short boat trips, hikes, and interpretive historical and botanical walks - at no additional cost. We also offer a variety of packages, see our trips here (summer | winter).
