Get-togethers for Family & Friends
In addition to fishing, there are a number of other activities that make Tincup Lodge the perfect destination for fishing enthusiasts and their family and friends.
Canoeing, Kayaking and Stand Up Paddling
Why not canoe, kayak or stand up paddle board your way around the lake’s most beautiful spots? Tincup Lake is 17km long and 2.5km wide. Gliding over the crystal clear waters in virtual silence also provides excellent opportunities to observe local wildlife in its natural habitat.
Wildlife photography and observation
Looking for the perfect spot to take some great wildlife photographs? You’ll find it just a stone’s throw from the lodge: The magnificent forest and moss landscape with its diverse animal and plant life offers an endless reservoir of photographic subjects. See eagles, moose, wolves, black bear, grizzly bear, lynx, caribou, porcupine, mountain goat, Dall sheep, wolverine, otter, beaver, weasel, birds and more in their natural habitat.
Northern Lights!
The mesmerising northern lights are visible from mid-August.
Hiking and Kluane National Park
There are a number of easy hikes from the lodge, either on cross-country trails or along riverbanks. For the more adventurous, there are more challenging routes in the surrounding mountains, which range in altitude from 1,500 to 2,000 metres. A stay at the lodge can easily be combined with tours in the nearby Kluane National Park. Flights (including scenic flights) can be arranged from the lodge.
Gold Panning
There is still gold in the Yukon! Try your luck panning for gold in the surrounding streams.
Motor Boating
Discover the beautiful rock formations and diverse landscapes of the Tincup area by motorboat. If you would like to stay on board for lunch, the lodge will prepare a delicious lunch box for you.
The Accommodation
Welcome to the epitome of Canadian comfort at Tincup Wilderness Lodge!
Imagine yourself in one of the cosy log cabins, each divided into two units to ensure your comfort. The main lodge and three smaller cabins are built with red Canadian cedar wood, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Each cabin boasts its own hot-water shower and private toilet, and LED lighting, solar-powered electricity, and a woodstove to ensure you have everything you need to relax and unwind.
On arrival, you will find two freshly made up single beds with comfortable health-mattresses, which can easily be re-configured to form one double bed if you prefer. Local artist paintings adorn the rooms, creating a unique atmosphere.
The larger lodge comprises a cozy living area with a woodstove, as well as a dining area and separate kitchen. Enjoy the cozy lounge and bar in a log home direct on the shore of the lake.
The lodge was rebuilt and renovated a few years ago, with a lot of attention to detail. It runs nearly entirely on solar power. All the equipment is kept to meet top standards, and the wood furniture is custom-made to maintain an authentic Canadian look.
After an active day, what could be better than unwinding in a hot tub or sauna. Soothe those tired muscles and let the day’s adventures melt away!
Cuisine
The Tincup Wilderness Lodge is not only renowned for its excellent fishing, but also for its delicious food. After a hearty breakfast, you’ll find exquisite soups, salads and fresh sandwiches for lunch or a snack. In the evenings you’ll be treated to a varied international cuisine. Only the freshest local produce is used and the lodge grows their own salads and herbs in the greenhouse just behind the lodge. Fresh berries and mushrooms are picked from the surrounding area. Coffee, tea and freshly home baked sweets are available throughout the day. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available by prior arrangement.
This is the perfect place to unwind and soothe a busy mind.

Experience a true Adventure
Tincup Lake is an absolute haven for fishing enthusiasts! It’s home to an astonishing array of fish, including Lake Trout (Namaycush), Arctic Grayling, Northern Pike, Burbot and various types of Whitefish.

Your hosts will provide you with a Lund motor boat (incl. fuel) accommodating two guests, and a selection of fishing gear is at your disposal. You can enjoy great world-class fishing right in front of your cabin, venture out into other areas of the lake, or wander up remote creeks where you can experience the peace of nature at its best – and you have it all to yourself!
All fishing is done with non-barbed hooks, and we have a strict catch, photograph and release rule to help ensure a bountiful catch for you and future generations.
