OUR HISTORY

Denetiah Lake Lodge is an exclusive retreat nestled within the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area in northern British Columbia, Canada. The lodge is accessible only by floatplane, emphasizing its seclusion and the pristine nature of its surroundings.

The Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (M-KMA) spans approximately 15.8 million acres of protected wilderness, with Scoop Lake Outfitters managing a 2.5 million-acre guide area within it. Denetiah Lake is situated within this expanse, offering rich biodiversity and abundant wildlife.

The name "Denetiah" is derived from the Kaska people, meaning "good people." The region officially became a park in 1999, reflecting its cultural significance and natural beauty. Before the Park was created Scoop Lake Outfitters had tenure and a foot print so they were granted authority by BC Parks to upgrade the buildings within the original buildings spots.

Construction of the current lodge began in 2019, involving significant logistical efforts due to its remote location, approximately 120 miles from the nearest town. Materials were transported by floatplane, and local resources were utilized extensively. For instance, a sawmill was flown in to mill dead standing trees around the lake, producing approximately 26,000 board feet of wood for the construction. The centerpiece of the main lodge is a 30-foot hand-built stone fireplace, with each rock hand-picked from two miles down the lake and transported back to the site.
