The lodge location Our lodge is situated close to the eastern boundary of Willmore Wilderness Park, a wilderness reserve that encompassess the northern Rockies directly north of Banff and Jasper National Park (highway map of Alberta). Located 24 km north of the town of Grande Cache, just getting to the lodge is part of the experience! (area map) You will travel down gravel roads, hike up a trail, and even cross a suspension bridge to get to the cabins. Remember, we are isolated... Sheep Creek Lodge is off the grid. We rely on ourselves for everything. We do not have phones, television, convenience stores, fax machines or computers at the lodge nor do we want these things. Our water supply is gravity fed, our toilets are either chemical, composting, or outhouses. See Cabins & Lodge page for more details about the on-site facilities. Each guest is required to sign an Assumption of Risk Agreement. How to Get There Travelling north on Hwy 40 from Grande Cache, you will travel 8 km on paved highway, then head onto gravel for an additional 14 km (road map). An escort (you follow us in your car) is available if you book ahead, but only once per day. Please inquire when you place your reservation. The road into the lodge is gravel, bumpy and does have some ruts. Many of our guests do arrive in small cars and experience few difficulties, but if the area has experienced lots of rain, you may want to inquire about current road conditions. From the parking area, you will walk about 400 metres to
the Sheep Creek and then across a short suspension foot-bridge. If you
provide an accurate arrival time, staff will meet you at the parking area
and assist in moving your luggage to the lodge. Each guest is limited
to one bag, each party of 4 limited to one 40-lb cooler. Groups that exceed
our luggage allotment will be charged $20 per trip for the ATV, or you
can carry your extra things in. See
a list of what to bring. Independent Arrival... if you cannot
provide an accurate arrival time or experience delays, staff will not
meet you at the parking area. However, the trail is marked with a sign.
Please make your way to the lodge. If staff are not on-site, they will
return before the end of the day. See a facility
map, and be sure to note which cabin you are reserved in. Email Us | Rates
