Accidents and incidents
- 8 July 2007, a Liard Air de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, registration C-FAWC took off from Muncho Lake for a flight to Prince George, British Columbia, crashing immediately after take off, killing one of the 3 passengers (from thermal burns). Piloting the aircraft were 2 crewmembers, who survived the crash. The takeoff was attempted from a 950-foot private airstrip across from the lodge instead of the more-appropriate 1,800-foot gravel strip one mile south. A video of the crash shows the aircraft struggling for altitude as its right wing hits the ground, followed by the plane's wing hitting a power pole, snagging its recently decommissioned power line, spinning clockwise and impacting trees, followed by a fire.[2][3]
