The Bear Bar · The original Island Lake Lodge
The first lodge.
The last story.
Some bars have a view. This one has a history. Pull up a chair where Island Lake began.
Since 1988
The soul of
the place.
Built in 1988, Bear Lodge housed the first guests, kitchen, and dining room. It is still where people gather after skiing.
The fireplace is built from blue and red Wigwam River stone. Pull up a chair, order a drink, and hear about everyone’s day.
