BLACHFORD LAKE LODGE & WILDERNESS RESORT
Welcome to Blachford Lake Lodge, your home away from home in the serene, Canadian north. Blachford Lake Lodge is located in the rugged wilderness of Northern Canada, in superb Aurora-watching country.
Perched on a rock knoll overlooking Blachford Lake, it is a half-hour charter flight from the city of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories.

Many miles from roads, or national suppliers of electricity and water, our lodge nonetheless provides many of the benefits of a luxury hotel, with the priceless addition of a pristine wilderness environment, unpolluted by artificial light or noise, the perfect setting for watching the Aurora Borealis (also known as the Northern Lights).
