This lodge is fairly accessible for Alaska. It is about a 45 minute flight on a float plane from Anchorage. The fishing is really hard to believe. At times I caught a fish on every cast for more than 10 casts in a row. The cabins are quite nice and the staff is friendly. The guides are absolutely the best!... More

This lodge is amazing!! I came with my husband and am not an avid fisherman. However, it made no difference and this vacation is one of my favorites. Our guide, Justin, made fishing fun for me with his knowledge and thoughtfulness. The staff is wonderful and goes out of their way for you with everything. The food is great and... More

We had a great time fishing for rainbows at the Wilderness Place Lodge. This was our first trip and it won't be our last. We took a float plane from Anchorage to Skwetna...as we flew over the last road, we realized we were headed into the wilderness. After landing, we were moved by the friendly and professional (and confidence inducing!)... More
