Our
Mission
...to provide a good warm bed,
hot shower, great food and a cold beer (wine, or scotch for those with
above average sophistication) in a historical Alaskan setting. The roof doesn't leak, the
toilets usually flush , and you hardly ever hear the person in the
next room snoring. For the workaholics (or not), we do provide
wireless internet.

About Our Lodge
Gakona Lodge was established in
1904 for the travelers on the Eagle/Valdez Trail. It is one of a
couple of the original historical Alaskan roadhouses. All others
have been
destroyed. The
lodge consists of 9 rooms with 2 shared bathrooms and 3 cabins (the
cabins have their own bathrooms). Most of the rooms in the lodge
have double beds and some with an additional single bed.
Two of the
cabins have kitchens and multiple
bedrooms. We have Tipi's for those who would enjoy sleeping next to
a fire. We provide a
continental breakfast for those staying in the Lodge and from May 20th to
September 15th we have the Carriage House Restaurant open in the
evenings serving everything from a Burger to Halibut. The
food is awesome!
We have a Tavern called "The
Trappers Den" where you can fill your cocktail fancy. We
are located at the
confluence of the Gakona and Copper Rivers. Anybody that knows
anything about salmon probably will recognize "Copper River".
Yeah... the salmon fishing is pretty good. The best fishing is in
the months of June and July for Kings, June, July and August for Reds,
September for Rainbows. We would be happy to hook you up with a
guide for fishing or hunting.

We
offer all the equipment you will need to float the rivers.
