About This Lodge

Only cabin on the lake — Complete privacy

Kluane Wilderness Lodge is the only commercial operation on Wellesley Lake, located in Canada's Yukon in the land of the Midnight Sun. It is a remote wilderness fishing lodge known as one of the world's premier lake trout destinations and hosts strong populations of large northern pike and lake whitefish. This quiet fishing lodge, with the nearest neighbor being more than 80 miles away, hosts a maximum of 16 guests at a time in four small cabins. This area has remarkably few bugs, creating a more pleasant outdoor experience. Visit in June through early July for 24 hours of daylight, or come in August through early September for a chance to see the northern lights!
