Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) Viewing

What better place to view the spectacular night sky than the remote regions of northern Ontario. Our lodges provide terrific vantage points for those interested in the stars and our Milky Way Galaxy. Because there is no light pollution from streetlights or surrounding development, stargazers are amazed by the clarity and sheer number of stars filling our night sky.


Few people can say they've seen the Milky Way in person, but those that experience it firsthand at our lodges walk away with a new sense of amazement and intrigue for the vastness of outer space. Many times throughout the summer we are witness to the spectacular light displays of the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis.


Words cannot describe the magnificence when our skies come alive with the flowing rays of pink, purple, yellow, green, and red light. There are still some guests who visit with us that are skeptical of the aurora phenomenon and suggest that it is perhaps just an urban legend.


All of our staff vigilantly watch the skies throughout the summer and are always eager to let our guests know when they notice the "dancing curtains" beginning to emerge. Any skepticism is quickly replaced with awe and astonishment when our guests experience the celestial phenomenon known as Aurora Borealis.
