Grounds
Williams Lake Lodge was cut from the Canadian wilderness and was originally a “fly-in” and then a “boat-in” camp. With the completion of our new driveway in 2017, you now have “drive-in” convenience. From Dryden, follow the yellow signs on the logging road to our driveway, then drive right to your cabin. Gravel paths, 4-foot-wide boardwalks, and safe steps and ramps to the docks make getting around camp easy. Pickup your ice and freeze your take home fish in our centrally located freezer house. Electric power for the camp is supplied by our solar system with generator backup. This state-of-the-art system supplies quiet power 24 hours a day. Relax and enjoy the wilderness without having to “rough it” too much.
