General Information

Location:
We are located in Southwest Alaska on Fishtrap Lake (known to us as lake Mulchatna) on the western slope of the southern Alaskan Range. The lodge is near the head waters of the Mulchatna and Chilakadrotna rivers, known throughout the world for it's spectacular wildlife populations and it's unmatched fishing. Specifically, we are 40 miles north of Lake Clark within the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve and 140 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Season:
Operating all year.

Facilities:
All buildings are made of local hand-hewn logs and are warm and dry in both the summer and winter. There are three guest cabins, a bath house with a shower, and the main lodge with dining and living areas. Meals are prepared with great care and are often enjoyed while viewing bears, moose, wolves, or great herds of migrating caribou right from the porch. The Mulchatna caribou herd alone has over 180,000 animals, making quite a sight when passing by the lodge (especially when the wolves are in tow).

Activities:
Fishing, hiking and backpacking, spectacular wildlife viewing, aerial photography, rafting trips on the Chilakadrotna and Mulchatna rivers, tours of Dick Proeneke's cabin on Twin Lakes See Photos (app 20 miles) and RELAXATION. Occasionally bears and wolves chase caribou and moose right in front of our lodge! Winter brings perfect weather for ski touring and snowmobiling, while the nights often produce amazing shows of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the northern lights- a sight to see in themselves.

Weather:
Summers are generally mild, temperatures ranging from 50-80F. It is recommended to bring raingear due to the inherently unpredictable Alaskan summers. Winter can be quite variable with temperatures ranging from -50 to +40F. Appropriate winter clothing is highly recommended.

How to Get Here:
Alaska is served by many major airlines. You will have no problem getting to Alaska via a commercial airline flight from any part of the world directly into Anchorage International Airport.

Little Mulchatna Lodge is located off the road system, accessible only by airplane. The fishing lodge is about one-hundred forty miles southwest of Anchorage, about a 90 minute flight. You may either hire an air-taxi in Anchorage to fly you directly to the lodge, or we can make the arrangements for you.

Air-taxis are numerous in Anchorage and the lodge is happy to arrange an air-taxi flight that will suit your needs to take you to the fishing lodge.

When you leave from Anchorage, your flight will cover some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. On a clear day, you can see Mt. McKinley, America's tallest peak, Beluga whales as you cross Cook Inlet as well as mountains, glaciers,lakes and rivers too numerous to count. In less then two hours,  your air-taxi will deliver you right to our doorstep on the banks of Fishtrap Lake 

If you wish to fly to the lodge in your own aircraft, we can accommodate float equipped aircraft on four-mile long Fishtrap Lake. Prior arrangements should be made with the lodge.
