When you arrive at the resort you will be greeted by one of our luggage transporters to help load up your luggage into one of our ATVs. After check-in, your vacation begins with a 2.5-3km walk or bike to your cabin at High Lake. If there are members of your party with mobility challenges we can provide pre-arranged transportation for them. Our staff will transport your gear and do a walk-through of the features and facilities of the cabin once you arrive.

Welcome Centre hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Check-in starts at 4:00 pm. You will receive a pre-arrival email 3 days prior to your expected date of arrival at the resort. To help us prepare for transporting your luggage out to High Lake, we will ask you for your expected time of arrival to the resort. Please keep daylight hours in mind to avoid walking to High Lake after dark.

A single round-trip cost for transporting gear is included in your reservation. Additional trips will be subject to a $35.00 fee for each trip. During your stay, vehicles can be parked at the Welcome Centre lot.

Check-out time is 11:00 am unless otherwise arranged. Staff will meet you at your cabin at the prearranged check-out time. Please be ready to load your gear. Please bring a cell phone so you can communicate with our office. Falcon Lake ambulance service (911) can access your cabin. Cell reception is good at Falcon Lake, but reception can be patchy on the trails and out at High Lake.

Sound travels over water and can affect guests at other cabins. Outdoor music systems (on screen porches and decks) need to be turned off after 10 pm.

High Lake cabins are designed to minimize environmental impact, with power supplied by solar panels. Guests must avoid the use of appliances with heating elements (ie: hair dryers, curling irons, waffle irons, coffee makers) or appliances that draw constant power (ie: fans).

Instruction manuals, regarding use of facilities, are available in the cabin.

Family Owned and Operated

Falcon Trails is a family business! The resort was created and built in 1995 by Falcon Lake locals Barb Hamilton and Craig Christie and continues to thrive in its second generation as operations are now run by their three daughters, Emily, Caleigh (and her husband Ryan) and Brooke.

Safer Space Policy

We want Falcon Trails Resort to be a safe, welcoming and enjoyable space for both guests and staff.  Our goal is for people of all genders, ages, abilities, cultures and sexualities to feel welcome and comfortable here.  Therefore, any form of discrimination will not be tolerated.  This includes, but is not limited to, sexual harassment, bullying, and any racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, fat-phobic or ableist comments or behaviours.  If at any time you are made to feel uncomfortable or unsafe at Falcon Trails Resort, please email us at pam@falcontrailsresort.com or for immediate assistance call the front desk at 204-349-8273 and ask for the acting Safer Spaces manager.

Environmental Policy

We love the forests here and have implemented the following changes around the resort to work towards respecting and minimizing impact on the land.

• Solar power generated electricity! We are delighted to announce that as of the summer of 2019 we have installed enough solar panels to power all the cabins, and then some!

• All-natural cleaning products: we use non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products to maintain all our Falcon Trails and High Lake cabins.

• Well-insulated cabin design to save heating energy

• Passive solar lighting utilizing large windows on the southern wall

• Cold-water washing with phosphate-free detergent for laundry when possible.

• Composting and recycling program to minimize household waste

• Naturally focused landscaping embracing the local habitat

At the High Lake Eco Cabins, winner of the Travel Manitoba Eco Tourism award in 2003, we have implemented a number of steps to sustain the pristine lake and environment:

• Built using largely reclaimed or local materials with alternative building methods

• ‘Remote access’ to avoid habitat destruction and to promote sustainable transport alternatives (walking, running, biking, cross country skiing)

• Solar-powered electricity

• State-of-the art composting toilets

Falcon Trails pursues these efforts to respect and sustain our environment for ourselves and future generations to live, work and play. We’d love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions on how we can further reduce our ecological footprint.
