Perched on the banks of the world-famous Naknek River, within the Bristol Bay watershed, Fat Bear Lodge operates seasonally June 15 - October 1. Located in King Salmon AK, the town is only accessible by air, which ensures a truly remote wilderness experience. The Naknek River and the surrounding area hosts prolific runs of five species of salmon and is a designated trophy rainbow trout area. With the fish comes incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. We not only cater to fishermen, but wildlife viewers and photography focused guests as well. You can experience world-class guided fishing, brown bear/wildlife viewing, back country side-by-side adventures, scenic flights, hiking, kayaking, beach combing, and explore Aniakchak National Monument and Katmai National park.
