The Washow Story

Adventure. Culture. Nature...Together

World-class ecotourism under northern lights

We are the Moose Cree, a sovereign First Nation in Canada's subarctic. We've lived in the James Bay lowlands since time immemorial. Our traditions are alive and well, and our Homeland inspires us to this day.

Washow Lodge is our beautiful ecotourism wilderness facility. It celebrates Cree culture, history and tradition.

Come enjoy our genuine northern hospitality.
We know this land will inspire you, too.

Year-round wilderness ADVENTURE

There's always something to do: snowmobiling, paddling, fishing, snowshoeing and more. It's year-round wilderness adventure for those who love sweeping landscapes, northern lights and remote, pristine waterways.

Experience authentic James Bay Cree CULTURE

Our culture of working together was shaped by our subarctic Homeland. We still hunt, fish and trap in family groups. We'd welcome you into our family during your stay at Washow Lodge.

Immerse yourself in NATURE

Where else can you observe a black bear and a beluga whale? Or experience thousands of migrating birds flying over vast wetlands? Washow Lodge is a full immersion into the natural heritage of an area that is remote and beautiful, rugged and pristine.
