about us
gagnon lake
Gagnon Lake is located 120 air miles East of Yellowknife N.W,T, Canada located in the Territorial Protected Area of Thaidene Nëné near the Thaidene Nëné National Park Reserve in Northern Canada. Yellowknife has scheduled air service by major carriers from Edmonton Alberta, Calgary Alberta, Vancouver British Columbia and Toronto Ontario.
Gagnon Lake stretches 20 miles in length with some arms on the lake extending upwards of 10 miles. Various bays, inlets and rivers offer our adventurers some of the most beautiful scenery and opportunities to see wildlife, including of course, some of the best world class Trophy fishing in North America. Gagnon Lake is fly-in only and we are the only outpost lodge on the lake. The lake is located on traditional hunting and fishing lands of the North West Territories of Canada. This guarantees our guests are exclusive to the area. The water is pure and drinkable literally teeming with fish. As such, we encourage catch and release, with some smaller fish being kept for shore lunches or to take home.

Be prepared to explore and discover new territory with these boats
Located near the Thaidene Nëné National Park which is a national park located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The park was developed in partnership between the Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation, Parks Canada, and the Government of the Northwest Territories.
The park would encompass an area of over 26,000 square kilometers and would include a wide range of ecosystems, including boreal forests, tundra, wetlands, and lakes. It would also include a section of the East Arm of Great Slave Lake, which is known for its excellent fishing and boating opportunities.
The park’s primary goal is to protect and conserve the natural and cultural resources of the region, while also promoting sustainable tourism and economic development for the Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation and other local communities. The Park would also be an opportunity for Indigenous-led conservation and First Nations people will be given an active role in the management and operation of the park.
The park is still in the planning stages, and there is no set date for when it will officially open to the public. However, the development of the park has been ongoing for several years, and it is expected to be completed in the near future.
It’s a nice park that offers a lot of opportunities for nature lovers and the outdoors, It would be great to plan a visit if it’s in your travel plan and operational.
We renovated the cabin in the summer of 2021 and the lake has not been fished in over 35 years. You will be some of the first anglers to experience this location, ever!!! Preservation and respect of the property and surrounding wild land area environment is required by all who use the facility.
The season runs from June 15 – September 30. Being north of the 60th parallel offers an extended amount of daylight; end of June has 22+ hours of sunlight!!
