Packing for the North
Pack less than you think
Nearly everyone overpacks for a trip like this. But Scott Lake isn’t roughing it. The lodge is dialed in, comfortable, and ready for just about anything you might need.
Suggested Clothes List:
1. Base & Layers
- Lightweight base layer (top & bottom)
- 1 heavy fleece or wool pullover
- Optional insulated vest or jacket
*Avoiding cotton – Preferably wool
2. Shirts & Pants
- 1 short-sleeve shirt
- 2 long-sleeve shirts (preferably Quick-Dry fabrics)
- 2 pairs of pants (quick-dry or zip-off)
*Avoid heavy fabrics like denim
3. Rain Protection
- Waterproof rain jacket (Gore-Tex or similar)
- Waterproof rain pants
- Waterproof hat with strap
4. Footwear
- Waterproof boots (boat use)
- Comfortable shoes for the lodge
5. Accessories
- Polarized sunglasses (consider bringing a backup pair)
- Fishing Gloves (light pair)
- Warm gloves (for cold weather)
Be Ready for Changing Conditions
Weather this far north can shift quickly.
 Warm sun can turn to cool wind in a matter of hours. Pack with range in mind, and you’ll be comfortable in anything the day brings.
A Few Smart Reminders
- You won’t need dress clothes
- You likely won’t wear everything you pack
- The lodge provides more than you expect
- When in doubt, leave it behind
If you’ve got this, you’re ready
Pack light, arrive easy, and step into a week where everything else is already taken care of.
