Why
choose the Anvik River Lodge???
Because it's like
having your own private fishing reserve at our truly remote yet
extremely comfortable lodge. You normally won't see any other anglers,
boaters or float planes during your stay. It's just us and the
wildlife on this 120+mile river which is a tributary of the Yukon
River.
Located about 450
miles Northwest of Anchorage the Anvik River Lodge really is
the only lodge
on the entire Anvik River. Our nearest neighbor is about 70 miles
down stream in the
Athabascan village
of Anvik.
Imagine floating
down the same river that was used as the original trade route for
Russian explorers on their way to the mighty Yukon.
Guests fly-in on
our privately chartered flight from Anchorage to Anvik. Once there,
the adventure begins with a comfortable boat ride from the shores of
the Yukon River up the Anvik River to the lodge. Upon arrival at the
lodge guests are delighted to find the comforts of home in such a
remote area. The hand-hewn main lodge houses ten to twelve guests in
five rooms, each with private baths. The rooms open out onto
the hub of the lodge's activity - a massive great room with vaulted
ceiling and picture windows out where our guests enjoy dining and
socializing with one another. We also offer a private guest cabin that
accommodates up to three guests. Imagine a whole week of not seeing
anyone else beside our staff and the other guests at the lodge.
Picture yourself
reeling in up to five species of Pacific Salmon, Northern Pike, Arctic
Char,
Dolly Varden, Arctic Grayling, White Fish - possibly all
in the same day. While partaking in this incredible fishing you
will enjoy close up sightings of sow grizzly bears teaching their
cubs to feed on fish. You'll also have chances to see moose , gray and black wolves, otters, beavers,
eagles, ospreys
and over 50 other species of migratory and song birds that make the Anvik
their homes.
The food at the
Anvik is consistently rated top notch by our guests. We serve
traditional fare along with vegetables many grown in our garden.
Bread is homemade and there are always plenty of
cookies and desserts to accompany our hearty meals. We are becoming
famous for our steak and king crab extravaganza.
The Hickson family
and staff invite you to become part of nature at the Anvik River
Lodge.
