In Alaska’s great wilderness, there are quite a few pockets of privately held land. It’s exciting to be able to experience Alaska the way the first settlers and Native Alaskans did, building homes in the middle of some of the most gorgeous scenery you’ve ever come across. Chulitna Lodge is an old homesteader’s land and cabin located on the shores of Lake Clark National Park. Visit here, and you will have the chance to experience history the way many people can’t!

Chulitna Lodge is a wilderness retreat on the shores of Lake Clark National Park.

The food at the lodge is incredible, especially as you are out in the middle of the wilderness.

You will be delighted with the many sightings of wildlife you will find all over the property.

And of course, as the lodge is right on the shores of Lake Clark, you will have plenty of water-related activities to enjoy.

Eli S / TripAdvisor The fishing is incredible, as even the original Dena’ina residents of this area traveled to Lake Clark as their summer fish camp. You can get out on the lake in kayaks, or pack rafts, and head out right from the beach in front of Chulitna Lodge!

There are so many exhilarating things for you to do during your time at the lodge.
