Wilderness Place Lodge is a fly-in Alaska fishing lodge and wilderness retreat located off the road system northwest of Anchorage. Guests travel by floatplane into a remote river setting where guided fishing, comfortable private cabins, hearty meals, and personalized service are all part of the experience.
Our lodge is a strong fit for small groups, families, couples, fishermen & fisherwomen, nature lovers, photographers, and travelers who want an authentic Alaska wilderness trip without having to coordinate every detail on their own.
As all of our trip packages originate from close proximity to Anchorage, you can do a lot in just under a week. Do plan for at least one travel day from your home to Anchorage and back. Pretty much all our guests arrive in Anchorage the day prior to the start of their trip with us. Instead of trying to visit every region of Alaska, focus on a trip plan that maximizes your time in the field.
Our packages avoid complicated logistics and maximize guest’s access to remote rivers, lakes, mountains, glaciers, and wilderness areas.
When comparing Alaska lodges, tours, and packages, look beyond the starting price. A lower advertised rate may not include flights, meals, gear, guides, transportation, taxes, licenses, beverages, or gratuities.
Wilderness Place Lodge packages are designed to include the major pieces of your trip up front, so you can better understand the real value and all parts of your daily itinerary before you book.
