Located close to Smoky Lake’s scenic landscapes and only a short distance from Métis Crossing, the lodge is an ideal base for exploring local history, nature and Indigenous experiences. With its welcoming atmosphere and rich cultural backdrop, The Nekinan Lodge offers an opportunity to relax, learn and immerse yourself in the spirit of the region.
