The Winterlake Lodge lies 198 trail miles northwest of Anchorage along Alaska’s historic Iditarod Trail. The lodge sits on 15 acres overlooking Winter Lake, a finger-shaped 2-mile lake where we land by floatplane in the summer and skiplane in the winter.
Winterlake Lodge offers seclusion and spectacular scenery. Views of the Trimble Glacier and the beginnings of the Rainy Pass are visible from the lake. Behind the lodge, Wolverine Mountain offers intriguing hiking and wildlife viewing.
We have many species of Alaska birds, wildflowers and berries that are difficult to see in other locales. Winterlake Lodge is also the starting point for neighboring adventures. We float the Happy River, fish the Canyon Creek area, explore the Upper Skwentna River and scenic Red Creek. We always offer daily exploration opportunities.
Winterlake Lodge is our only property that is open year round. It is the Finger Lake checkpoint along the Iditarod Trail and open for winter adventure activities from November to April.
