Stress-Free Getaway Awaits
Imagine a vacation where your worries disappear, every detail is handled, and relaxation and adventure are the only items on your agenda. That’s precisely what Alaska’s Most Remote Lodge offers. We understand that daily life can be chaotic, and when you opt for a remote adventure like this, we strive to make it as stress-free as possible. Our trip packages are all-inclusive from Anchorage, with no hidden charges or surprises along the way. Your responsibility is to reach Anchorage on time to catch our privately chartered flight to Anvik. From there, we take care of everything. This is your well-deserved vacation, and our commitment is to ensure you savor every moment.
Your Private Fishing Sanctuary
Upon arrival, you’ll discover an atmosphere akin to having your exclusive fishing sanctuary at our genuinely remote yet highly comfortable lodge. Forget about “combat fishing.” Situated about 450 miles northwest of Anchorage, we are the sole lodge on the entire Anvik River. Our closest neighbor resides roughly 75 miles downstream in the Athabascan village of Anvik. During your stay, you won’t encounter other anglers, boaters, or float planes. It’s just you, our team, and the wildlife in this vast 120+ mile river. Our guests consistently commend the warm hospitality we provide and the unexpected comforts of home in such an isolated locale.
A Fishing Paradise
One of the most appealing aspects of Anvik’s fishing experience is its diverse range of fishing opportunities in this stunning watershed. You can choose to drift fish from the boat, cast your line from the gravel shores, or wade into the river. Each day, a different expert guide will lead you to various sections of the river and its tributaries. Our experienced guides each bring their unique techniques, enhancing your chances of reeling in an abundance of fish.
An Angler’s Dream
Picture yourself reeling in up to five species of Pacific Salmon, Northern Pike, Arctic Char, Dolly Varden, Arctic Grayling, and White Fish—all in a single day. As you immerse yourself in this incredible fishing experience, you’ll have the chance to witness grizzly bear mothers teaching their cubs to fish up close. You’ll also have opportunities to spot moose, gray and black wolves, otters, beavers, eagles, ospreys, falcons, and over 50 other species of migratory and songbirds that call the Anvik drainage home.
An Invitation to Nature
The Hickson family and our dedicated staff extend a warm invitation to become a part of nature at Alaska’s Anvik River Lodge. It’s an adventure and an escape from the ordinary, all wrapped up in one unforgettable package.
