You have three 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 two hours by car. The closest major Canadian centre is Calgary, Alberta, three to four hours away. The beautiful drive south through the Foothills of the Canadian Rockies is well worth the trip. If road travel is not your thing, then consider flying all the way to Cranbrook, British Columbia. Only one and a half hours from Island Lake, it is the preferred choice for some. You can get to Cranbrook by connecting through either the Calgary or Vancouver airports.  Delta Airlines now fly into Cranbrook from the USA.  We work with a number of regional shuttle companies offering shuttles to and from all 3 airports which can be arranged through our office.

You can rent a vehicle from Kalispell, Cranbrook or Calgary.  Our lodge 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 lodge.  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 gift shop located in the Bear Lodge, for souvenirs, clothing or sundries.  Don’t forget to stop by to peruse the Bear Boutique!
