GETTING THERE
TRAVEL BETWEEN YOUR HOME AND KING SALMON, ALASKA
Book your flight from your home city to the town of King Salmon, Alaska. All flights to King Salmon originate in Anchorage, Alaska. Most of you will have two flight segments, the first from your home city to Anchorage, Alaska, the second from Anchorage, Alaska to King Salmon, Alaska. Your flight to King Salmon will require a plane change in Anchorage before continuing on to King Salmon. Depending upon where your home city is, you may or may not overnight in Anchorage, although most will.
Our changeover day is Friday. We will meet your arriving flight in the town of King Salmon. Schedule your flight to arrive between 9:00am and 2:00pm. Our pilots and guides will be at the airport terminal waiting for you. The flight time to King Salmon from Anchorage is about 1 hour. After greeting you at the King Salmon terminal we will then drive one mile to our floatplane base on the Naknek River. From there, we will then fly you to the lodge, a 20-minute flight in our lodge-owned float equipped aircraft.
