Our fishing lodge and adventure packages originate and terminate in Anchorage, Alaska. Most of our guests will be spending at least a day in the city with at least some time to kill. Our Anchorage web page is a good guide to dining, lodging and sight-seeing.
Our lodgeguest orientation will walk you through the daily schedule at Wilderness Place Lodge in addition to providing 'need to know' information prior to your arrival here. This is a mandatory pre-trip read for all guests.
Weather in Alaska is something to be considered before embarking your Alaskan adventure. There are some general temperature and precipitation trends from month to month in our region, but you should plan for variable and unpredictable weather. Also, view our packing list for gear to combat the elements.

Visit our Adventure side-trips and add-ons if your group is interested in adding on any unique adventure activities to your existing itinerary. Most of these side trips we are able to reserve fairly spontaneously, but it is advised booking in advance to guarantee availability.
