This stretch of untouched water and wilderness—spanning over 7,200 square miles—features 12 river systems that merge to form more than 100 lakes as well as the North Seal River.
  • Relish pristine viewing of the northern lights in September that will leave you breathless.

  • At the lodge, choose from a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, birding, lake tours, and fishing.
