In Alaska’s great wilderness, there are quite a few pockets of privately held land. It’s exciting to be able to experience Alaska the way the first settlers and Native Alaskans did, building homes in the middle of some of the most gorgeous scenery you’ve ever come across. Chulitna Lodge is an old homesteader’s land and cabin located on the shores of Lake Clark National Park. Visit here, and you will have the chance to experience history the way many people can’t!
Chulitna Lodge is a wilderness retreat on the shores of Lake Clark National Park.
Many of the vegetables are homegrown in the greenhouse on the property. You will also have all the delicious Bristol Bay Alaskan Salmon you can eat, and many of the wild berries that grow nearby.

You will be delighted with the many sightings of wildlife you will find all over the property.
Don't be surprised if you look out your window and see a bear sauntering across the beach. If you want a more in-depth trip, then be sure to ask about their flight seeing tours you can take and look for more animals!
The fishing is incredible, as even the original Dena'ina residents of this area traveled to Lake Clark as their summer fish camp. You can get out on the lake in kayaks, or pack rafts, and head out right from the beach in front of Chulitna Lodge!
There are so many exhilarating things for you to do during your time at the lodge.
From hiking, to explorations of the Lake Clark National Park area, there are plenty of things for you to do that thrill you! Set up a backpacking trip with your friends, or even head out of the area to the Wrangells or Kenai.
They also offer a creative residency at the lodge. They have four options for those interested: fellowships, work study, resident artist, and honorary resident.
