Some guests, mainly those living in the western United States, may be able to travel from their city of origin to King Salmon in one day. However, most of our guests need an overnight Saturday stay in Anchorage. When you make a reservation, a list of suggested hotels and restaurants will be provided.

King Salmon Airport is a former U.S. Air Force Base with an 8500 ft. paved runway and a small terminal to serve the local community of 443 residents. King Salmon is served by Alaska Airlines. There is ample parking for private aircraft.

We will meet you at the King Salmon Airport and provide transportation to the Lodge in our passenger van. The drive from the airport to the lodge takes approximately 20 minutes.
