I don’t think you can put a price on the goosebumps you feel as you step out into the pure fresh air, look up and see the Milky Way sparkling, and suck in the silence which is only broken by an occasional wolf howl. This really is another world and definitely as far as you can get away from it all.

Barren Ground Grizzlies are a rare sub-species of its more popular western cousin. While not quite as big, they still grow to over 800 lbs. and over 8’ long. A ferocious bear due to its tough environment, grizzlies are rare but have been spotted at both the North Seal and Courage Lake areas.
Black Bears
Common in Northern Manitoba black bears grow large up here and can weigh up to 600 lbs. The North Seal area is renowned for having rare color phase black bears with chocolate, cinnamon, honey-blonde, and the extremely rare white. Many will mistake a huge colored black bear for a grizzly.

Manitoba Wolf
There are two types of wolves in Manitoba. The native breed would be the timber wolf, which frequents the North Seal area. At Courage Lake, the Arctic wolves circulate and travel down in the fall following the caribou. Our habitats are excellent opportunities for photographing wolves in their true natural habitat.
Central Barren Ground Caribou
Our areas are home to the Kaminuriak caribou herd, North America’s largest. 300,000 animals has migrated annually for thousands of years from their calving grounds in Nunavut to spend the fall and winter in Manitoba. The migration passes right thru Courage Lake and guests will walk in their ancient trails and perhaps even spot a wandering ‘boo (or 100)!
