Wilderness Place Lodge

Get the perfect blend of all-inclusive, turn-key remote wilderness experiences for small groups, families and couples with Wilderness Place Lodge and The Alaska Adventure Company.

Wilderness Place Lodge—tucked away on a remote river northwest of Anchorage—offers prime access to remote wilderness, river adventures, and excellent spin and fly fishing for salmon, trout, grayling, and northern pike. Diversify your off-grid adventure by selecting one of the many unique, bundled eco-travel packages and create an Alaskan experience that perfectly suits your taste.

An Idyllic Remote Location

Wilderness Place Lodge sits on the banks of Lake Creek—a clear-water, freestone river that runs south from Denali National Park and boasts a robust native population of rainbow trout, Arctic grayling, and five species of Pacific salmon. A nearby lake chain offers great topwater fishing for northern pike.

The lodge boasts a staff-to-guest ratio of 1 to 1, and the friendly staff of 18 prides itself on personal service and flexibility, making a stay here a little different from larger, corporate lodges.

Personalized Fishing/River/Wilderness Guides

Anglers will mostly be wade fishing the expansive gravel bars of meandering river channels. Because the lodge is located right on the river, you’ll be close to the best fishing spots and can maximize your time angling. Personal guides—who adapt to meet the expectations and schedules of each guest—are always eager to offer instruction with both spin and fly fishing. You can also book a unique fishing and wilderness bundle that features a fly-out lake cabin, guided river floats, and more.

Private Cabins, All Your Gear—and Hearty Dinners

Highly touted for its fine accommodations and phenomenal cuisine, the lodge makes for an ideal home base. The timber-rich main lodge is made of natural Alaska pine and Sitka spruce, with lots of large, outdoor decks offering river and forest views. Mix and mingle with other guests or just relax on your own, sipping a beer or glass of wine, or trying your hand at tying one of many effective Alaskan fly patterns.

Then retire to your cabin, which has electricity and a private bath with showers. Enjoy a peaceful, deep sleep on high-quality beds with memory-foam mattresses.

The dining experience is flexible, and the chef team caters to all dietary preferences. Dinner in the main lodge is a spectacle, including plenty of fresh seafood—from salmon to halibut and surf and turf—as well as prime rib, rack of lamb, and pasta. Enjoy a full breakfast and lunch in the lodge, too, or choose to take those meals with you out on the water. Fireside shore lunches can also be arranged with your guide for a day or two during your stay. And be sure to experience one the seafood culinary classes.

Since the lodge is completely all-inclusive, all of the meals (including beer and wine) are covered. Trips also include a round-trip scenic float plane flight from Anchorage, your cabin, and all of the gear for spin or fly fishing, including rods, reels, tackle, flies, and waders.
