Becharof National Wildlife Refuge

Becharof National Wildlife Refuge is a land of contrasts. From its rugged coastline to the 4,835-foot summit of the Mt. Peulik volcano (the name is taken from an Alaska Native word meaning "smoking," or "smoking mountain"), it includes everything from tundra to braided, glacier-fed rivers to saw-toothed mountain ranges. But few would argue the assertion that the biological heart of the refuge is the lake that bears its name.
Becharof Lake is huge; 35 miles long, 15 miles wide and as much as 600 feet deep, and is fed by two major rivers and numerous streams. This, the second biggest lake in Alaska and the largest in the entire National Wildlife Refuge System, is a veritable salmon factory. - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Visit National Parks/Wildlife Refuges

The 4,725,000 acre Katmai National Park and the 1,157,000 acre Becharof National Wildlife Refuge are both within sight of the lodge, and each offers a multitude of day trip possibilities.

Persons desiring to fish can ask for a “Park tour” or a “Refuge tour” wherein you and your party of friends can fly through the incredible scenery as you sample the fishing at two or more streams, breaking the day with lunch at a scenic location.

Persons desiring a tour without fishing can visit the Valley of 10,000 smokes at Katmai National Park, lunch at a scenic point or island, then an afternoon of bear viewing or hiking. Another option is the Gas Rocks, a carbon dioxide vent at a dormant volcanic crater, and an afternoon hike. Those are only two examples of the many creative tour opportunities we can provide.
