After a beautiful 50-minute flight from Anchorage via floatplane, you will land on Big River Lakes. Redoubt Bay Lodge staff will greet you and show you to your cabin. Daily lodge-based activities include:
- A tour of the lake by canoe
- A wine tasting on the front porch
- A walk on the bog
- Plaster-casting of animal tracks
- Kayak lessons
- Swimming in the lake
- Flightsee through Lake Clark Nat’l Park (add’l fees apply)
Be as physically rigorous as you like, or kick back and enjoy the fresh air. We offer a focus on sport fishing, bear viewing, or natural history touring during your stay.
The emphasis at Redoubt Bay Lodge during the summer months is the spectacular natural terrain surrounding the lodge, the local wildlife residents, and what we can learn from this fragile and special environment.
The Fishing
We are constantly exploring our neighborhood for new fishing waters and angling adventures to offer. We can also arrange a fly-out to nearby fishing areas.
Bear Viewing
Because of the salmon population at Big River Lakes, there are many bears that feed in the local area. We are working hard to protect our resident bears and co-exist with them. A trained naturalist guide will take you for an up close and safe view of our nearest neighbors.
Canoe the Lake
We have canoes and kayaks available at the lodge for checking out the meandering coves of Big River Lakes. Spend a few minutes or all day exploring the famous Big River Lakes area.
What is a Critical Habitat Area?
The critical habitat area established at Redoubt Bay is to protect the millions of birds that migrate, nest and live in the area. It is the world’s only nesting ground for the Tule goose, a sub-species of the White-fronted goose. At least one-third of all birds recorded in Alaska can be viewed here. Ask to borrow a set of binoculars for bird viewing!
Photography Opportunities
Big River Lakes offers a spectacular setting for novice and professional wilderness and outdoor photographers. We offer periodic special wilderness photography classes at Redoubt Bay Lodge.
