OUR SIGNATURE WILDERNESS ADVENTURE:
Spend 4 days and 3 nights in the remote pristine wilderness along the Athabasca River. This one of a kind wilderness adventure begins near the town of Athabasca when you board one of our Jet drive river boats to embark on an exciting 5 to 6 hour cruise down the majestic Athabasca River en route to our back-country lodge. This magnificent river cuts through hundreds of miles of unspoiled wilderness and breathtaking scenery and boasts an incredible range of large and small wildlife as well as countless species of waterfowl and birds of prey, providing endless photographic opportunities. Walk among the ruins of long forgotten historical places. Cast a line into one of the many, seldom fished tributaries for record sized Walleye and Northern Pike. Take a hike to witness the power of the remote and awe-inspiring Grand Rapids, located just a few miles below the lodge. Enjoy the evenings reconnecting with friends around a roaring campfire. Spend quiet times rekindling relationships in a cozy log cabin or simply find a space all your own.
