Do we share accommodations with any other people?
The only people that you would ever share accommodations with are those people that are in your own group. You would never share a cabin with persons from another group.
Do you have phone and internet hookup?
The main lodge is equipped with two cellphone boosters making cell service available while guests are in the lodge. We ask that guests keep their phones and other devices on silent when in the lodge so as to not disturb other guests.

Do you have outposts camps?
No, we do not have any outpost camps.
Can you accommodate for people with special diets?
Yes, just please let us know ahead of time and we can accommodate special diets.
Do you have exercise equipment?
Yes, we have a fully equipped gym with a treadmill, elliptical trainer, stepper, free weights and a universal gym.
Do you have walking/hiking trails?
Yes, we have a few trails that go around the island. One of our guest's favorite hikes on the island is the hike to the front point. The front point makes for a great hike as you have beautiful views looking west out across the lake and an up-close look at the eagles nest that has been atop the esker for many years. If you are lucky, you might even see the juvenile eagles taking flight. Take the hike at sunset for incredible views of the sun setting across Hatchet Lake. This hike is roughly 1.25 miles round trip starting at the lodge and has a couple spots to stop and take a break.
Departures and Returns
The last day of your trip is a travel day… You will leave the lodge at 9am, make one fuel stop en route to Saskatoon and arrive around 12 noon. We recommend you schedule your connection flight any time after 1:00PM
