Unalakleet River Lodge

FreshwaterNorton Sound — Unalakleet River above Unalakleet

The only lodge on the Unalakleet River, this log lodge with private cabins sits eight miles upstream from the Norton Sound village of Unalakleet; it opened in 1998 and passed to a former guide in 2023. Two anglers share each guide, fishing from jet boats and gravel bars with fly or conventional tackle for silvers, chums, pinks and late kings, plus Dolly Varden and grayling, which are released.
