Incredible Guest Services! I bought a trip to Blachford Lake Lodge for my wife as a Christmas present back in 2019. The pandemic forced us to reschedule our trip. Amy and Alice were absolutely amazing to work with in getting the trip rescheduled. After that, my wife and I had some work and family issues that necessitated us rescheduling the trip two more times. Again, Amy and Alice were so responsive, so accommodating and so helpful. They have gone above and beyond in working with us to make this trip happen. I cannot imagine there are many places that would be as accommodating as Blachford Lake Lodge. With the fantastic customer service we have received before even going there, I can only imagine that the attention paid to guests while there is superb. We cannot wait to get there! Thank you to Amy and Alice!

Stunning in every respect We enjoyed the most marvellous three days here. The main attraction was to see the Aurora, a long held dream, and we were luck enough to see a wonderful display on our first night. It was quite wondrous and to see it in the absolute wilderness just outside our lodge was just perfect. We had more Aurora the next night though not quite as vivid or extensive but the Lodge offers much more. The three walking trails offer a wonderful feel of this remote area. By October when we visited most of the birdlife had migrated south but the walks are still great. The staff are excellent and the meals were hearty and fulfilling. And my highlight, apart from the Northern Lights of course, was catching (and it's all catch and release) 9 Northern Pikefish (one of about 20 pounds) in about 75 minutes on a fishing trip one afternoon, so don't let anyone tell you it's too late to catch fish in the lake in October! This is a "must do" trip and well worth the excursion north. You'll see a different, but a fabulous, part of Canada

Once In a Lifetime Adventure Beautiful rustic lodge on secluded Blachford Lake. We live in Texas. We made a visit to Blachford Lake Lodge in July 2022. We have never been to Northwest Territories, Canada. We only had the online reviews to determine if we would make the 3,200-mile trip. So glad we did. Best vacation ever. the lodge's 5-star reviews were accurate. Amy was helpful and offered information as we planned our trip. We flew into Yellowknife and took the sea plane to the lodge. Beautiful views, peaceful and remote surrounded by nature. the small group of lodge staff were welcoming and very accommodating. The lodge was comfortable and clean. Tash wanted to make sure we were having fun and doing all the activities we wanted to do. David made us three delicious meals each day. Multiple food choices. All were prepared fresh and so good. We enjoyed the lodge's dining area. The views of the lake are unforgettable. the lodge rooms were better than expected. We saw beautiful sunsets from the room's large windows. The beds were comfortable. there were many fun activities available. We had much fun hiking, swimming, boating, and fishing. The hot tube and sauna were wonderful. We learned about native plants and made an incredible spruce salve. You can stay busy or just relax and enjoy the unspoiled area around the lodge. We loved seeing bald eagles and hearing the loons call over the lake. We loved everything about our trip and plan to visit again.Leslie and Nick Alino

Put this on your bucket list !! My son and his fiance live in Yellowknife and took us out to the lodge for 4 days. Winter is the optimum time to visit for the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) viewing (as near continious light in summer). They will wake you up if you request. There are % predictions, but you never know when they will show and for how long. There is a Sauna (in the bush) and Hot Tub by the lodge. Track set cross country skiiing, a skating rink and hiking. Lots of skates, skis and snowshoes to borrow. Ice fishing is available. Snowmobiling tours too (including novice tours). The only way in is by float/ski plane - Twin Otter via Air Tindi. You can snowmobile in, or ski/hike if you are nuts ;-) All activities center on the lodge. There are 5 guest rooms in the lodge and a half dozen cabins; well spaced, but close. All rooms/cabins have at least a double bed and more bunk beds. They could throretically fit 4-8 people in each room. The cabins have electricity (lights and outlets), a sink with jug water, and a wood stove for heat. There is an (totally) odor-free compost toilet. The lodge is fully heated and has shared showers and running water. This is "Rustic Chic". The food is home style and excellent. They can accomodate special food needs. We had a Gluten-Free and a Peanut Alergy in our party. Always listed GF Options and "No Peanut" items listed for each meal. There is a well stocked bar in the lodge (good wine and a selection of single malts). "Art" and other activites for adults and kids. The staff are super-helpful and friendly. Most of the staff are from outside of North America.

Perfect way to experience the NWT My GF and I visited Blachford Lake Lodge in Mach 2022. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We went to see the Northern Lights (which were incredible), but were pleasantly surprised by all the other activities we could do. Hiking, ice fishing, snowmobiles etc were all excellent. The great service and delicious food were also a nice bonus!

Magical winter stay at Blachford Lake Lodge My husband and I recently enjoyed a spectacular stay at BLL in February 2022. From the lodge staff, food, outdoor activities and the dazzling aurora, we had a truly wonderful time. Special shout out to Fanny, Conrad, Tanya and Jason for making our day to day stay so much fun, Yves and Simona in the kitchen for the super yummy meals, and Chantelle, Lisa and Katherine in the booking office for ironing out all our last minute details. Already missing this very special place - seeing the dancing aurora really checked off a bucket list entry for both my husband and I.... already hoping to return soon! Thanks BLL staff for the best time xoxoxo

Aurora dream come true Blachford Lake Lodge is a amazing place. It is the best place to watch aurora. I watched colorful aurora and watched aurora dancing. It was a unforgettable time. I ticked off one of bucket list beautifully. The staffs are nice, lovely and friendly. Every meal is so delicious. The service is excellent. Everyone in my big family (group of 7) love it so much. Thanks everyone in the Blachford Lakd Lodge.

Once in a lifetime! What a special place! From the bush plane to the activities to the food- this was an amazing trip! We were fortunate enough to see the aurora all three nights- the best from the hot tub (trust me it's worth the cold scurry in negative temps!). The staff is very helpful and attentive. Meals were delicious!

A truly unforgettable beautiful Getaway Blachford Lake Lodge you have stolen my heart.I have never had a more peaceful getaway. We started out traveling to the lodge by float plane, which was awesome, then unlimited outdoor activities, beautiful scenery, the chef nailed it with every meal and the customer service was incomparable to any place I have ever been. You are treated like the royal family and then you get to boat out to an island and touch your bare feet to rocks that some of the actual royal family visited! Such a great atmosphere and I 1000% recommend Blachford Lake Lodge! I will be going back, I would actually love to check this place out in the winter too. If it’s not already on your bucket list of places to travel, I highly suggest you add it!I could on for hours how much I loved this place but honestly the words just can’t do it justice, I feel rejuvenated and if you’re looking to disconnect so you can reconnect with what’s important, definitely go to Blachford Lake Lodge.

One of the most understated experiences at Blachford is simply “being”. Away from the noise, away from the bustle, take a moment to just stop and listen to the true sound of silence 🌲

FAQ

 
Q: When are you in operation?

A: We are open from mid-December through mid-April, and from June to mid-October. We are closed a few weeks in autumn, while the lake freezes and in spring when the lake thaws.

 

Q: What do you have in the way of outdoor activities?


A: Summer activities include fishing, SUP boarding, hiking, canoe/kayaking, swimming, motor boating, interpretive tours, bird watching, plant and animal identification. Winter activities include cross-country skiing (20 km groomed trails), snowshoeing, hiking, snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice skating, fat tire biking, igloo building, kick sledding, quinzhee or igloo building.

 
Q: How long has Blachford Lake Lodge been in business?

A: We have been in operation since 1981. Blachford is owner-operated with the owner and most of the staff residents in Yellowknife.

 

Q: Is alcohol available to purchase at the lodge?

A: Yes. We have a fully stocked bar on site.

 
Q: Is it guaranteed I will see Aurora, or catch the biggest fish?

A: 
Sorry, we can't guarantee anything... but we will try our best! The NWT is scientifically the best place in the world for Aurora viewing, so you've picked the right place. The science behind the Aurora says that if you stay for 3 nights minimum, you have around a 90% chance of getting a special lights show.

 

Q: How do we arrange guide service?


A: Guide service is available for all guests. Ask our office staff before you arrive. We do require pre-booking of guides to ensure that your needs are accommodated.

 

Q: What amenities do you have at Blachford?


A: In addition to northern wilderness, clear lake water, miles of trails, cozy accommodations and sumptuous meals, we offer: hot tub, tipi, aurora viewing room, fireplace, full bar service, full washroom facilities with hot showers, toiletries, hairdryers, and daily housekeeping service.

 

Q: Do you provide transportation from Yellowknife Airport to the Air Charter Base?


A: We can arrange transportation for you. We can also arrange for tours and hotel or B & B accommodations in Yellowknife. Air charter flights depart from a float plane base on the shores of Great Slave Lake.

 

Q: How big is the aircraft that goes to the lodge?


A: 
Typically, you will fly on a Twin Otter. At times, you may however, have the opportunity to fly on a Cessna, Beaver, or Caravan. All are considered "bush planes". They are all very safe, and flown by experienced pilots. If you're feeling a bit nervous, feel free to bring your own water bottle or ginger tablets with you.

 

Q: Can you prepare vegetarian or special dietary meals?


A: Definitely. Please, advise us of your special needs prior to your arrival.

 

Q: What is my baggage allowance? 


A: 
Each guest is allowed one large bag (up to 40 lbs), and one smaller "carry on style" bag (around 8 lbs).

 

Q: How crowded does Blachford Lake get in the busy season?


A: We are the only lodge on 17 km long Blachford Lake. There is no road access here, so you are unlikely to meet anyone other than your fellow lodge guests during your stay. The peace and quiet will be one of your best memories of your Blachford trip.

 

Q: I assume there is a liability waiver to sign, is this correct?


A: 
Yes. During the booking process, each traveller will be required to complete a waiver and sign off on our Terms & Conditions. This is mandatory for all guests and must be completed prior to arrival in Yellowknife.

 

Q: Do I require insurance to visit?


A: 
While it is not exactly mandatory, we 100% recommend that all guests have emergency medical insurance while visiting us. Please remember you're travelling into the true wilderness!

 
Q: Does that mean I can see Aurora all summer?

A: 
Not quite. From May through the beginning of August, we have 24 hours of light, so the Aurora are not visible.

 

Q: Is there wifi available on site?


A: 
Surprisingly, yes! While your cell phone won't work (sorry, not sorry!) - we do have wifi that comes in via satellite. Each guest is provided with 250 MB/day of internet free of charge.

 

Q: What is your fishing policy?


A: We actively encourage a barbless "catch & release" program. However, a few small fish can be kept for a "shore" lunch or be brought back to the lodge for our chef to prepare.

 

Q: When and from where will my charter flight depart?


A: 
We will inform you via email approximately 4 weeks prior to your scheduled departure. There are a number of factors that will determine where you depart from, so thank you for your patience!
