Welcome to Blachford Lodge.

Golden skies, glowing leaves, and aurora-filled nights. Fall is a magical time to experience the wild beauty of the Canadian North. From mid August through early October, Blachford Lodge offers a front-row seat to seasonal transformation in the heart of the Northwest Territories. As the land shifts from autumn hues to early winter frost, guests enjoy peaceful days on the land and spectacular shows in the sky.
