Taltson Lake Lodge is nestled above a sandy beach near the mid-point of Taltson Lake, at 61 degrees north latitude, 110 air miles south of Yellowknife, in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The lake stretches out over 53 miles, with many bays and islands. Our new walk-in, King Lake, provides another 20 miles of un-fished water.

Taltson Lake Lodge is reached by flying to to Edmonton, Alberta, then connecting by jet to Yellowknife, N.W.T., and catching a float plane for your scenic one-hour flight to the lodge.
