King Salmon, Alaska, is a delightful place to visit. Those who love the outdoors will find seemingly endless amounts of sites to go to and things to see. The best place in the area to start your adventure into the Alaskan wilderness is from the doorsteps of Alaska’s Gold Creek Lodge. Here is an overview of where and what to do when visiting King Salmon, Alaska.

  • Fishing: King Salmon, Alaska, is a fishing destination. For starters, the largest Sockeye Salmon run in the world is not far away, and we have all five species of Salmon that are abundant in our area of Alaska.
  • This is your place for those interested in reeling in trout or salmon. The Naknek River is one of the best places to fish in Alaska. If it’s your first time or you are unfamiliar with the area, we have fishing guides available. Call us or email us with your questions to begin your adventure into the wilds of Alaska.
  • Hiking: For nature lovers, plenty of great hiking trails are scattered throughout the area. You’ll be treated to stunning views of mountains and lakes. Some popular trails are the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Trail, the Dumpling Mountain Trail, and the Katmai Crater Trail. In addition, this area is home to extraordinary wildlife, like grizzly bears, moose, caribou, and bald eagles. So don’t forget your camera on the hike.
  • Kayaking: Maybe you aren’t interested in fishing, but kayaking is your best option if you want to get out on the Alaskan waters. Our favorite is a float that starts in the crystal clear headwaters of the Naknek River in Katmai National Park and ends downriver at the Alaska Gold Creek Lodge.
  • Flightseeing: If you want the best view of Alaska, you need to get up high. Take to the sky on a flightseeing tour to better see the landscape, glaciers, mountains, lakes, rivers, and more. At the lodge, we offer fly-out adventures and heli adventures for our guests.
