Located over 450 air miles due west of Anchorage in the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, the Lodge offers anglers inspiration, relaxation and terrific fishing. With dedicated staff and guides, incredible salmon runs, and beautiful scenery, your stay at our fishing camp will be truly memorable.

Alaska...Our Last Frontier

"Alaska" is a Native American word meaning "great land." It has been called America's Last Frontier because much of the great land is still unsettled. This fact is very evident when you first arrive in the small village of Goodnews Bay (via private charter non-stop from Anchorage) to begin your adventure at Goodnews River Lodge. Our friendly staff then transports you in a high-speed jet boat to our camp on the Goodnews River - a three-branch river system that courses through the 4.3 million-acre wildlife refuge.

The Sounds of Silence...

No longer are the amenities of modern living apparent or available. No phones (except for emergency use), no television, no FM radio and no outside contact - or headaches - with corporate America! For the next eight days (or more depending on your excursion), your environment consists of semi-rustic living conditions, almost 24 hours of sunlight, great fishing, and the adventure of a lifetime - shared with friends you've just recently met!
