Summer 2008 Employees

Plans for summer 2008 are underway! We have some great employees lined up; now we just need the snow to melt and the road to open. We have Ron and Jean Duncan returning as campground hosts at the Fiddlers Lake site. Jimmy and Jerry Pierson from Louisiana will be working at the Lodge. Caitlin Hurlock will be taking over the guest services and running the housekeeping.

Our typical season opens mid-June, which is always a great time to come. Reservations are filling up quickly, but we still have vacancies throughout the summer. Call or email to check on availability.

Winter In the High Country

Louis Lake Lodge is having a great winter! A few guests enjoyed the holiday season at Louis Lake. Enough snow has fallen to make snowmobiling OK - not great. Ice fishing has produced some fish and cold feet. Not much work has been done on the lodge (yet) because of other commitments. Some slash piles were burned. Old man winter took a mean streak - the water lines have frozen up, forcing everyone to haul water from the spring box.


Enjoy the updated pictures.

Weekend Backpacking Adventure

One of the great things about Louis Lake is it's close proximity to numerous hiking trails. If you're looking for an adventure over a three day weekend I suggest backpacking in the Winds. Stay at the Lodge for a night, then pack up your gear and hike to Tomahawk (or any one of the numerous lakes in the area). The trailhead is only a short drive from the Lodge. Tomahawk is a nice 3.5 mile hike one way with wonderful camping near the lake. (Be sure to camp at least 200 feet from the water). The gradual uphill trail is well defined and mostly in the shade. Over the course of the trail you'll gain about 1000 feet of elevation, so it's not very steep.

There are still cabins open in August. Contact Louis Lake to check on vacancies!

Remember it is bear country so come prepared!

Louis Lake Lodge is preparing for 2007

The new lodge building is progressing. It has to be partially completed by June 2007 to host a double wedding.















There are still many vacant dates during the summer season of 2007. Contact us to reserve a log cabin for your adventure in the Wind River Mountains of central Wyoming, near Lander.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Louis Lake Lodge blog! We wanted to create a place for family and friends to share stories and photos of their vacations to the Lodge. Steve will also post winter trail conditions, cabin vacancies, and whatever else comes to mind.

Enjoy!
