Our Wilderness Trips

Frances Lake Wilderness Lodge & Tours offers great escapes, interesting nature tours and wilderness excursions at our secluded location in the Yukon's southeast region. Whitehorse is your gateway for most of our unique trips. All of them are offered from two guests only!

We offer a variety of all-inclusive packages ranging from lodge-based getaways to guided, multi-day excursions that explore the waterways and backcountry of the highly scenic Frances Lake area. Unique multi-day excursions take guests into the remote wilderness of the Frances Lake area. Canoe enthusiasts appreciate the opportunity to explore waterways that are rarely explored by other people. There are no buildings, campgrounds, or other signs of human habitation – just vista after vista of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers, as nature intended them.
