Painter Creek Lodge, in operation since 1982, is located in the remote wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula. It is 350 air miles from Anchorage and 95 miles south of King Salmon, Alaska. The lodge is accessible only by air and surrounded by the Alaska Peninsula Wildlife Refuge and the Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve. The Peninsula is only 50 miles wide in this area, assuring sea bright fish in the King Salmon River and Painter Creek.

Fly Fishing Painter Creek:

A main lodge building provides for dining, reading, fly tying, relaxing by the fire, or just enjoying the outstanding view. Sleeping quarters are in three duplex cabins, providing double occupancy for up to twelve guests, each room having private bath facilities.

During King Salmon season (July) a tent camp is set up at the end of the tidal surge on the King Salmon River. The camp has a weatherall mess tent and smaller, two person sleeping tents with cots. The hard core fishermen, like most that book with us, enjoy the fishing hours at the tent camp; basically as much as you can stand.

At the lodge you will enjoy three meals per day included in your package. Breakfast and dinner are hardy gourmet affairs. Lunch is on the river, between casts.
