About Lake Baccarac Lodge
Until 2004 with the opening of Lake Baccarac Lodge, anglers were inconvenienced by having to spend their evenings and nights in facilities away from the water. Now, anglers are brought directly to the water’s edge overlooking Lake Baccarac and the beautiful surrounding mountain scenery.
Lake Baccarac Lodge was built for one reason – to give anglers another opportunity while bass fishing in Mexico, to stay in elegant accommodations while enjoying the world’s best bass fishing. The 2021 season saw Lake Baccarac Lodge go through a complete update and renovation to make your stay that much better. If the fishing hasn’t hooked you, our chef prepared cuisine, updated rooms and lavish bathrooms, and comfortable transportation will!
