Picture yourself in a deluxe cabin surrounded by nature at the
edge of a glacial river. Ponder the serenity of the wilderness
while sitting on your private deck, looking for mountain goats
or moose. A winding mountain road leads you deep into the
mountains to the lodge and the National Landmark view of
the Knik River. Remote enough to feel like true wilderness,
yet perfectly situated for exploring South Central Alaska.
$172 per night - includes breakfast
If you love the great outdoors as much as comfort and privacy, the Knik
River Lodge is your perfect Alaskan accommodation. Even in the
Alaska wilds you can ‘rough it’ gently and stay in touch with the
outside world if you wish to. High-speed internet access and
mobile phone coverage allow you to connect with friends, family
and co-workers and share the natural wonders that surround you.
Relax with an in-room movie, or read a book on your
private deck overlooking the mountains.
The area is an outdoor paradise. Surrounded by the Chugach and
Talkeetna mountains, many of Alaska’s great hiking trails are easily
accessible. Pioneer Peak, just down the road, offers a challenging
day hike. The Hatcher's Pass area boasts great rock climbing as
well as many great trails. Hike to a remote waterfall surrounded by
almost vertical granites walls, or follow the wild Little Susitna River
to a hanging glacier. Visit a historic goldmine or raft down
the scenic Eagle River.
Easy travel to Denali, Kenai Peninsula or Valdez. Two of Alaska’s
major highways connect at the mouth of the Knik River Valley, so
whether you are traveling north to Denali National Park, south to
Seward and Homer on the Kenai Pennisula or east to Glennallen
and Valdez, the Knik River Lodge fits in every itinerary.
