Wat'chee Lodge is a beautifully refurbished navy communications base which stands 300 feet on top of an old beach ridge located about 40 miles south of Churchill, MB. Canada.
The lodge is a world-renowned destination for the adventurous naturalist, the avid
nature photographer, or for any and all vacationers who want to fully experience the
world-class travel opportunities that the Canadian sub-arctic has to offer.
Wat'chee in the Cree language means "a hill covered with trees in the middle of the
tundra".
Like an island surrounded by tundra, Wat'chee Lodge is situated in the middle
of the world's largest polar bear denning area adjacent to
Wapusk National Park.
Wat'chee Lodge has a commanding view of the vast Hudson Bay lowlands that sprawl
to the seashore of
Hudson Bay, dotted by stands of one-sided spruce trees, tundra hummocks, small lakes and willow-lined creeks. This is the habitat of the Willow
Ptarmigan, Cape Churchill, Caribou herds, Wolf, White Fox and the Polar Bear:
--the world's largest land predator. <<back
