Winter Adventure; Ice Fishing and Snowmobile Packages
Embark on the ultimate Fly-In Ice Fishing Adventure, where the frozen wilderness of Canada’s north becomes your playground. Target legendary species like Northern Pike, Lake Trout, and Walleye as you drill through the ice of remote, untouched lake. Experience the thrill of snowmobiling in the wilderness, carving across vast frozen landscapes to reach pristine fishing spots that few have ever explored. With the crisp northern air filling your lungs and the northern wilderness stretching endlessly around you, every journey across the ice is as exhilarating as the catch itself. This is more than just ice fishing—it’s an unparalleled winter expedition, blending adventure, solitude, and the raw beauty of the Canadian North.

Winter & Spring activities
Winter and Spring at Blachford Lodge are a true northern wonderland, where days of snow-filled adventure blend seamlessly into magical nights under the Aurora Borealis.
