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.
