Island Lake Catskiing guests have three great choices. If coming from the USA and looking for reasonable flights, you might want to consider Kalispell, Montana. From the airport, you will reach Island Lake in approximately 2 hours by car. Alternately you can now fly direct with Delta Airlines from Salt Lake City to the newly expanded Canadian Rockies International Airport in Cranbrook B.C. Only 60 minutes from Island Lake, it is the preferred choice for some. You can also get to Cranbrook by connecting through either Calgary or Vancouver airports. Another option would be to fly into Calgary, Alberta 3.5 - 4 hours away. The beautiful drive south through the foothills of the Canadian Rockies is well worth the trip. Please visit our directions and map page or contact our reservations team for additional information.

You can rent a vehicle from Kalispell, Cranbrook and Calgary. Island Lake Resort is located 10km north of Highway #3 near Fernie. Turn north off Hwy#3 at the Island Lake Lodge sign, 2 km west of Fernie. Travel through the Mt. Fernie Provincial Park onto a gravel road. Follow the gravel another 8km to the lodges. Travel time from Highway #3 is approximately 20 minutes and travels through old growth cedar and douglas fir forests.

The lodge is located at 4600 feet. A mountain playground for adventure enthusiasts and family explorers, Island Lake Resort has something for everyone. From discovery walks to adventure hikes to guided alpine hikes atop of the Canadian Rockies to fly-fishing, the experiences at Island Lake last a lifetime. Each day you can choose from an a la carte menu of independent or guided activities.

Warm outerwear is recommended as the weather in the mountains is sometimes unpredictable. Other ideas are: sturdy footwear, daypack; camera; sunglasses; slippers; bathing suit and sunscreen. We also have a small shop for those forgotten items.
