DENETIAH FLY-IN ACCESS
Some Fly South. You Fly Further.
Small plane pilots know there’s nothing like flying into a lake that no one else can reach. Denetiah welcomes experienced aviators with a passion for wilderness, privacy, and precision.
Remote Fly-in Access
You’re not flying for convenience. You’re flying for the freedom that only a remote alpine lake can give. Denetiah is floatplane-only—an exclusive fly-in lodge deep in northern BC wilderness, 100+ miles from the nearest road.
Own a floatplane? Land directly on Denetiah Lake.
Wheeled aircraft? Use our private airstrip at Scoop Lake and charter in via floatplane.
Either way, this is the kind of air access that sets your soul on fire.

Make the Wilderness Your Runway
Denetiah is remote, exclusive, and tailored for those who fly. Let’s plan your route.
I think Denetiah is a magical place for amazing wilderness adventures. The mountains so nearby and the lake full of trout gives you the option of just hanging out enjoying the serenity, hiking or catching fish all day long. And the new lodge buildings make the wilderness comfortable and accessible. I have never been to any place that matches Denetiah’s scenic setting or offers better wilderness adventures.

Reviews
In July 2024 we flew our Turbine Goose to the new lodge at Denetiah Lake. Trina and her staff gave us a warm welcome and promptly toted our stuff to our respective lodges. The first class treatment continued throughout our stay, with clean modern lodging and excellent meals. We had a wonderful time fishing the lakes and rivers of the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and interactions with the Denetiah staff, and look forward to many future returns.

Trina- I've been flying to remote places in Alaska for three decades now and I know my way around beautiful places and wilderness lodges. I was thoroughly impressed with what you have at Denetiah. In particular, the hospitality, the fishing, the meals, the accommodations and the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies all make it a special place. Not every lodge manages to pull it off like you guys do.
