Rebuilding Tekarra Lodge
A New Chapter Begins
Tekarra Lodge was known for its peaceful, rustic setting, where guests could reconnect with nature, adventure, and warm hospitality. It was a place to create lasting memories, enjoy the company of family and friends and embrace the simple pleasures of life.
Focusing on simpler living, Tekarra Lodge encouraged activities like playing group games, making S’mores, barbecuing, hiking, biking, yoga, and disconnecting from everyday stress.
Guests joined events and experiences, connecting with the lodge’s Ambassadors and forming lasting friendships. Whether it was river rafting, exploring Jasper National Park during interpretive talks, or exchanging stories around the fire pit, each guest’s experience was personal. One constant, however, was the warm welcome they received.
For nearly 70 years, Tekarra Lodge offered a relaxing retreat. This historic property, nestled in Jasper National Park, stayed true to its roots, providing a serene escape without modern distractions. There was no need for televisions, and while Wi-Fi was available, Tekarra Lodge invited guests to explore the outdoors, breathe deeply, and savor nature’s beauty.
Unfortunately, the wildfire in the summer of 2024 impacted Tekarra Lodge, with 75% of the property’s structures lost and the remaining buildings suffering smoke and water damage. The Lodge will need to be rebuilt and is expected to remain closed until 2027.
We are devastated by the challenges the Jasper community is facing in the wake of this wildfire. However, we are extremely thankful that all our employees and guests were safely evacuated. We can’t fully express our gratitude for the dedication of first responders and those providing aid, and we are sending our wishes for safety and strength to everyone affected.
