Welcome to Fort Nelson First Nation. – Treaty 8
our story, your experience.
Coffee with a view, whether you catch the sunrise or sunset. The valley sure puts on a show.
The McDonald Family, this has been home for well over a century. Charlie and Nellie raised 12 children here who’d spend the vast majority of their lives in the area, the last of whom, Angus, who is still there today. Despite the dramatic effects and changes that came with the highway, they stuck close to their roots, living largely traditional lifestyles.
It’s also home to a vast array of wildlife, including eagles, osprey, geese, bears, elk, sheep, deer, caribou, and more moose than you can shake a stick at.
Moose Lake. Located about 11 KMS from Mile 442 Alaska Highway, a 5KM stretch of the Toad River. Only accessible by foot, atv, or boat, getting here is an adventure in itself. There’s two land routes we use, one includes a boat regardless, and the other only passable in times of low water.

A home-cooked lunch at the cabin follows, showcasing the rustic charm of cabin dining. After settling into wall tents, guests can engage in optional activities or relax.

Lunch is served with a view at the summit, providing a moment to rejuvenate before the descent. Upon returning to basecamp, guests will savor a home-cooked dinner catered to dietary needs. The evening culminates in a peaceful float on Moose Lake, followed by storytelling and relaxation around a campfire.
Day 3
Day 3 begins with another hearty breakfast amidst the serene mountain backdrop. After packing lunches and gear, guests will load quads for a scenic ride to the river, where they will hike down with inflatable kayaks and paddleboards. The day features a guided float down Moose Lake, with safety briefings and opportunities for wildlife viewing, including wild horses along the riverbank. A picturesque lunch on the river sets the stage for a memorable afternoon. After returning to basecamp, guests will enjoy a final dinner together, celebrating the trip with hearty meals and shared stories around the fire, creating lasting memories of their adventure.
Day 4
On the final day, guests will enjoy a heartfelt breakfast, savoring the serenity of the location one last time.
