Discover the Heart of Alberta’s Wilderness

A Hidden Gem in the Canadian Rockies

Nestled deep in the untouched foothills near Sundre, Alberta, The Lodge at Panther River is more than a vacation—it’s a return to your roots. For Canadians seeking to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature, Panther River offers raw beauty, warm hospitality, and a wide range of seasonal adventures.

Unplug, Unwind, and Breathe the Mountain Air

From the moment you arrive, the pace slows. No traffic jams. No towering condos. Just panoramic views, the sound of a rushing river, and the scent of pine trees. Whether you’re sipping coffee on your cabin porch or hiking to a secluded alpine lake, you’ll feel like you’re a world away—without leaving the country.

Family-Owned and Proudly Canadian

As a family-run resort, Panther River blends rustic charm with heartfelt service. Our team knows your name, remembers your coffee order, and shares local stories that go back generations. It’s a distinctly Canadian kind of hospitality—genuine, generous, and grounded.

Cabins, Campfires, and Canadian Comfort

Choose from charming log cabins, luxury suites, riverside RV sites, or outfitter tents for a truly wild sleep under the stars. With complimentary breakfast, access to scenic trails, and the sound of the river just steps away, there’s no better place to rest, reflect, and recharge.

Adventure Awaits—All Year Round

Canadians love the outdoors, and Panther River delivers in every season:

– Summer: Horseback riding, fly fishing, heli tours, waterfall hikes
