Adventure of a lifetime awaits at Fraser River Lodge

No matter the season, Fraser River Lodge invites you to enjoy numerous activities and adventures to fulfill your every desire. Relax your mind and body outside under the glory of Mount Cheam. Relish the outdoors with the lodge’s professionally-guided fly fishing while surrounded by the pristine tranquility of nature. Take some time for yourself on an exhilarating mountain hike. Practice your marksmanship with a throw of an axe, or the blast of a clay pigeon. Be as active as you’d like and navigate the lodge’s activities to enhance your perfect experience during your stay.

Fraser River Lodge offers a spectacular range of activities, including guided fishing trips, hiking, yoga, axe throwing, trap shooting, campfire and s’mores, golf and Snowmageddon.

In particular, guided sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River epitomizes the battle of man versus fish for every big game fishing enthusiast out there. Fraser River Lodge prides itself on having captured many world-record sturgeon in the past. White sturgeon fishing charters are an exhilarating adventure as you wrestle with prehistoric giants. There’s a challenge waiting for you and your crew in the battle with the largest freshwater fish in the world.

The lodge’s licenced guides will shuttle guests in their jet boats in search of the targeted fish. Once the anchor is down, they will assist with baiting, and setting up the rods for action. Trips range from 4-10 hours. Ask the lodge about its BBQ shore lunch.

In addition to guided sturgeon tours, Fraser River Lodge caters to salmon fishers during two seasonal runs. Wilderness salmon fishing season goes from late July to October, while local salmon fishing lasts from September to November. The lodge offers the best selection of salmon fishing packages, whether you are an avid fly fisher or like to throw spoons.

When it comes to fly fishing, explore the outdoors with a fully covered custom-built boat equipped with a high-powered jet engine. Fraser River Lodge employs experienced jet boat pilots who run area rivers on a regular basis. The day begins by crossing into a long lake before delving into the wilderness waters where time stands still.

Or, better yet, try your hand at catch-and-release wilderness fishing where movies are made and jet boat pilots escort you to unparalleled beauty and breathtaking scenery.

When you’re done fishing, test your accuracy at the lodge trap shooting venue. Clay disks are launched, giving the marksman an opportunity to shoot and break the clay targets. Licensed pros at Fraser River Lodge will teach you all the components of safety before users get their hands on a .12 gauge shotgun. Once the shooter is fully engaged and ready, designated staff will call “Pull!” and launch the clay disk into the air.

Experience yoga at the lodge by choosing the intensity of your class to suit the needs of your group, embracing the outdoor experience, and appreciating your natural surroundings. Don’t forget to focus on awareness, breathe deeply, and maintain stillness.

Or, take a hike – literally – at the Campbell Lake Trail, dubbed the Harrison Grind by locals, on your way to Harrison Hot Springs. It’s less than a half hour drive from the lodge and will inspire you with its solitude and challenging terrain. For a slightly less daunting jaunt, consider the East Sector Lands between Agassiz and Harrison for a casual stroll.

For the corporate types who need a team-building exercise and an excuse to get out of the office, consider Snowmageddon. It’s similar to paintball but much cooler. And unlike your days of youth, you won’t get into trouble for throwing snowballs on the Fraser River Lodge playground. Snowmageddon features a fully facilitated snowball experience complete with perfect pre-made snowballs, bunkers and full-coverage helmets. Did the lodge mention they have two snowball presses that make 45 snowballs at a time?
