Baranof Wilderness Lodge

Fresh and saltSoutheast Alaska — Warm Springs Bay, Baranof Island

Natural hot springs are a short walk from this owner-run lodge at Warm Springs Bay, on the east side of Baranof Island; it is reached by float plane and runs on its own hydroelectric power. Guests pick their water each day: fly rods on nearby streams and estuaries for salmon, Dolly Varden and cutthroat, or the lodge's boats and conventional tackle on salt water for halibut, rockfish and salmon. A naturalist program of kayaking, hikes and whale watching keeps non-anglers busy.
