Inconnu Lodge
Wilderness Northern Lights
Adventures in Canada’s Yukon
Territory.
The Northern Lights Adventure is a combination of soft adventure, fall colors,
deluxe accommodations, zero light pollution and spectacular northern lights. By day, you can canoe, hike some
of the trails surrounding the lodge, take one of the many optional side trips offered or just relax. By night, enjoy a
gourmet meal, spend time by the bonfire, set up your camera gear and get ready for the light show.
Lodge Facts
Inconnu Lodge is located one hundred and eighty air miles
east of Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Situated on the
north shore of McEvoy Lake, the lodge is forty miles west of the
Northwest Territories - Yukon border and one hundred twenty five
miles north of the British Columbia - Yukon border. Its far away
from any lights and on cool crisp evenings, the sky is alive with
stars and the Aurora Borealis.
Activities
Inconnu Lodge offers its clients a vast variety of daily activities,
including but not limited to canoeing, hiking in the boreal forest,
wildlife photography and optional side trip for fishing and alpine heli-hiking. With a vast amount of land as your
playground, each Inconnu Lodge guest has the unique opportunity to explore and experience the majesty of the
Yukon by day and view the Aurora Borealis by night. Wildlife is abundant and canoes, paddles and life jackets are
included so anyone is able to embark on a wilderness canoe or hiking trip any time.
The main focus each night will be the northern lights. There are many locations to chose from so each evening
you can set up in a different location depending on where the lights are active. A great addition to your viewing is
to watch the northern lights from the lake side hot tub and sauna.
Your Journey to Reach Us
As this ultimate destination is in the heart of the Yukon Territory, you would begin your adventure by flying into
