Wilderness Place Lodge

FreshwaterWestern Susitna Valley — Lake Creek

About 70 air miles northwest of Anchorage, Wilderness Place is a fly-in lodge on Lake Creek in the western Susitna Valley, with nine private cabins for up to 18 guests. Guides take two or three anglers each and mostly wade the clear creek for salmon, rainbows and grayling with fly or spin gear; pike on nearby lakes and fly-out raft floats are options too. A stay can be any length, priced by the number of nights, and the floatplane from Anchorage, gear, beer and wine are included.
