Details

Planning your trip to Crooks Lake Lodge is a seamless process with various considerations in mind. The lodge is accessible through scheduled flights to Goose Bay from major Canadian and U.S. cities, with convenient options provided by Air Canada and Provincial Airlines. It’s essential to arrive in Goose Bay the day before your lodge departure, where a lodge representative will meet you at the airport and assist with ground transfers to The Bunkhouse and eventually to the float plane. While ground transfers and accommodations at The Bunkhouse are included in your package, meals in Goose Bay are not. Guests are encouraged to keep their baggage at around 50 pounds per person to ensure the safety of charter equipment. Labrador’s unpredictable weather is a factor to consider, so packing for varying conditions is advisable. In the event of weather delays, the lodge will make every effort to accommodate your travel, but additional costs for meals and accommodations may apply in Goose Bay.
