OUR STORY

Arctic Lodges began in 1950 and quickly put Reindeer Lake on the map as one of North America’s premier fishing destinations. In the 1980s, conservation officer Ray Littlechilds served on Reindeer Lake, where he befriended the lodge’s original owners, Fred (late) and Linda Lockhart, and dreamed of one day having a place here. That dream became reality in 2003 when Ray and his wife Jan (pictured left), together with their son Kelly, purchased Arctic Lodges from the Lockharts.

In 2014, Kelly and Andrea Littlechilds took over full operations—continuing a legacy built on stewardship of the land, exceptional service, and unforgettable fishing.

The Grand Slam

Arctic Lodges is placed on what is said to be one of the best locations in the world. With little to no pressure on the fish, our guests are able to catch and release a remarkable number of fish every season! Come experience our lodge and see for yourself how thriving the freshwater ecosystem is below the waters of the legendary Reindeer Lake. With direct fly-in access, Arctic Lodges gives you the best chance for trophy fish in all the four main species – Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Walleye and Arctic Grayling – The Canadian Grand Slam of Fishing!

Taste the North

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a shore lunch made with your own fresh catch, cooked over an open fire. At Arctic Lodges, our on-shore lunches are a highlight of the experience. Simple, satisfying, and deeply rooted in northern tradition. After a morning of fishing, your guide will prepare your freshly caught fish alongside hearty sides, all while you relax and take in the wilderness. Back at the lodge, our dedicated kitchen team elevates northern flavours even further with gourmet meals crafted from high-quality ingredients.
