Rapids Camp Lodge

FreshwaterBristol Bay — Naknek River below Naknek Lake

On 60 acres along the Naknek River, about 7 miles below Naknek Lake, Deneki Outdoors' Rapids Camp Lodge takes no more than ten guests a week. Two anglers share each guide, whether jet boating the home river, flying by Beaver on floats or tundra tires to boats kept on the Kvichak and Nushagak, or rafting streams in Katmai. Guests fly in from Anchorage on the lodge's own PC-12, and bear-viewing packages are sold too.

Season

June to October

Guided lodge weeks in 2027 run from June to September and change over on Fridays, alongside a do-it-yourself king camp on the Nushagak from June 13 to 30 and do-it-yourself rainbow days on the Naknek in September and October. Kings come from mid-June to mid-July and silvers in August, and September brings the biggest trout and char.
