Canadian Fishing Trips at Hatchet Lake in Saskatchewan

Hatchet Lake Lodge
Canadian Fishing Trips

The main lodge and cabins are situated on a beautiful island on the north end of Hatchet Lake located a short five minute boat ride from our runway. Our lodge is a three level, all-log structure with a commanding view of Hatchet Lake. It houses the dining area, stone fireplace, game area, fishing tackle shop, fully stocked bar, kitchen and upper level meeting room. Each cabin is constructed of hand-peeled logs harvested in the area. Logs are then transported to the island and carefully selected and sorted prior to construction. A talented group of Cree and Dene Indians who specialize in log structures quietly go about their work without much in the way of modern tools... just an ax, saw, hammer and nails. In a few days, a very attractive and comfortable cabin is in place, ready to serve our guests for many years to come.
