Remotely situated within the subarctic wilderness of Canada, Big Sand Lake Lodge is located 525 miles north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. There is no road access to Big Sand Lake so the only way to get here is to fly.

The Lake is 70 miles long and comprises over 60,000 acres of pristine northern waters, containing the most sought after trophy fish in North America.

Every year our guests commonly catch and release 20-30 lb plus Northern Pike, 50 lb plus Lake Trout, 3-4 lb average Walleye's and Trophy sized Arctic Grayling

This lake offers fishing diversity at it's best and it's waters are exclusive to Big Sand guests only. Big Sand Lodge is the only lodge located on the lake, there are no communities and no cabins making this a truly remote and very private World Class Fishing Lodge.

As others are drawn in imagination and body towards coral reefs and rain forests this unchanged frontier attracts the free spirit in all of us. Travelling north to the permafrost and tundra, the caribou and the wolves, you'll discover that the sun shines brightest from here. This unique subarctic landscape is beautiful with lots of interesting things to see and do.

Big Sand Lake gets its name from the immense amounts of sand deposits left behind in this region during the Wisconsin Glacial Period which dates back 20,000 years ago. Eskers are long, narrow, winding ridges of stratified sand and gravel. Eskers can be many miles long and resemble abandoned railway embankments which can range in length from 100 feet to 100 miles and more! These veritable mountains of sand can be quite large, achieving heights of 40 to 550 feet. This natural phenomena has occurred throughout the world where large scale glacial activity has occurred. Places such as Scandinavia, Ireland, Scotland and the area of Big Sand Lake bear physical witness to this impressive geological evolution. Guests can hike across the esker trails located just off the airstrip, discovering a unique Flora and Fauna ecosystem such as Arctic Cotton, Labrador Tea, Micro philia phila, Lichens and Caribou Moss.
