modern adventure:
The new Buffalo Pound Eco Lodge
Since June 2025, visitors can immerse themselves deeply in the natural beauty and cultural spirit of Buffalo Pound Provincial Park with a stay at the brand-new Buffalo Pound Eco Lodge. Nestled in the heart of nature, this walk-in retreat features five thoughtfully designed tipi-style cabins, just 120 steps from the parking lot – close enough for convenience, yet far enough to ensure peace and seclusion.
Each cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort and sustainability in mind: guests enjoy cozy interiors, stunning views, and private outdoor kitchens equipped with a sink, fridge, and firepit.
More than just a place to stay, the lodge offers a rich program of self-guided activities that honour Métis traditions and the healing power of the land. Every booking includes:
• Medicine Walk, inviting guests to connect with nature on a deeper level
• Bannock Making Kit, celebrating Métis culinary heritage
• Smudge Kit, fostering mindfulness and cultural reflection
Included in every stay are canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and even mini golf for up to four people, making it easy to enjoy the lake and its surroundings. Hiking, biking, campfires, stargazing, and outdoor games round out the experience, offering something for every season and traveller.
Thoughtfully designed and grounded in a spirit of respect, Buffalo Pound Eco Lodge extends the park experience into a meaningful overnight stay.
