Welcome to

Chaunigan Lake Lodge

2013

 



This article is intended to provide you with additional information and hopefully will answer some of your questions.

Our main focus is fishing but we also offer horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and nature and wildlife in abundance. At any time you may be privileged to see any of our wildlife, including moose, deer, Grizzly bears, Black bears, beaver, eagles, chipmunks or squirrels.

Our lodge manager Nick and his staff are here to help you.

Our dining room is open at 7:00 AM with Breakfast being served at 8:00 AM, and again at 5:30 PM with dinner being served at 6:00 PM. Vegetarian and Children’s meals are available upon request.

We encourage you to meet after a day’s activity at either our hot-tub or sauna, and then join staff and new friends in the lounge where we will be happy to serve you some refreshments. Some of our drinks are made especially for our guests and include Chaunigan Sunset by Rachel & Amber, Fisherman’s Flick by Scott and Candice, Moose Juice by Mike & Uwe, and Trail’s End by Shirley. Our bar services are offered until 10:30 p.m. nightly.

P.S. We also offer a “Designated Walker” to safely escort you back to your cabin at the end of the evening. So enjoy yourselves.
