Southern Lakes Resort

Rooms

The resort is made up of a collection of cabins placed far enough apart to maximise privacy, while still in close proximity to the main lodge. Each features a private deck to enjoy views of the lake and surrounding mountains and forests. Each of the comfortable cabins has a modern cabin design and features an en suite bathroom, a sitting area, and a heating stove. The deluxe villas have large windows to take in the views, and a larger living space. Some cabins also have a kitchenette.

Location

This resort is situated on the shores of Nares Lake in the southern area of the Yukon, close to the border with British Columbia. As this is a remote lodge, the nearest towns of Tagish and Carcross are about 30 minutes away, and Whitehorse a further hour.

Food and drink

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant serves fresh and seasonal creations inspired by the local region of the headwaters of the Yukon River. The lakeside setting makes for an excellent view while enjoying your meal. Particular staples are homemade burgers and freshly grilled steaks. If the weather allows, you could enjoy a drink on the sunny patio overlooking the lake.

Facilities and activities

With its secluded waterfront location, an array of activities are on offer at the resort throughout the year. From guided ATV tours through the forest and wide-open areas, to hiking the extensive trail system, to taking a gentle paddle on the lake in a canoe. There are many ways to immerse yourself in the wilderness and fresh air here. Fishing tours are also offered.

In the winter, the landscape is transformed, and you can venture onto the lake by snowshoe, pulled on a sled by a team of huskies, or even on a snowmobile. At night, watch the sky come alive with the aurora borealis.
