Immerse yourself in the pristine wilderness of Canada 's sub-arctic. Whether you are a camera buff, a trekker, or enjoy the feel of your paddle slicing silently through the cold clear northern waters, the Lodge at Little Duck has something for you. Here you can experience the magic of the north by day and the comforts of our full service lodge at night.
The stark beauty of the Arctic Barren lands start at The Lodge at Little Duck. The hues and colors of the sand eskers, weathered rock, moss, lichen, dwarf birch, stunted tundra spruce and tamarack mix to create a natural tapestry that is simply breathtaking. Guests may also see some of the wildlife that inhabits Canada 's Arctic , such as Arctic Wolves, Ptarmigan, and the stately Central Barren Ground Caribou. This is the only lodge in Manitoba that is situated on the annual migration route of the Qamanirjuaq caribou herd that is estimated at 500,000 animals.
A short distance from the lodge you can explore the old site of Caribou Post, a Hudson 's Bay Company trading post that was closed in 1956, as well as the old Anglican Mission. Caribou Post was previously the home of the Sayisi Dene people who were relocated by the Department of Indian Affairs the same year the post was abandoned. The Sayisi Dene were hunters of caribou, true "people of the deer".
For those who would enjoy a few hours of fishing, while exploring the hundreds of miles of shoreline by boat, world class catch and release fishing is available for northern pike, lake trout and the beautiful Arctic grayling.
Come, relax, and enjoy the north! |
