We are a family-run adventure lodge located 55km from Cumberland House, SK, on the Saskatchewan River Delta. We are accessible only by a wilderness trail in the winter, or by boat in the summer. We offer all sorts of adventures, with shared cabin accommodations, home-cooked dinners, and a sauna. We are off-grid, therefore we have wood stoves, haul water from the river, use outhouses, and hunt/fish/garden for our food. This is our family home steeped in Cree culture and we invite you to be part of our family too!
Where
Meet in Cumberland House, catch the shuttle in the morning to the trail head down the highway.
There will be a skidoo ride and hiking trip into the cabins, dressed in warm layers ready for moving around. Bedding provided. Please bring your own drinking water, snacks, and towel. There is no power, cell service, or wifi during the retreat, notify your families you are off-grid for a couple of days.
