Item Description

The trophy-class fishing, exhilarating wildlife, and spectacular scenery make Southeast Alaska's 5-star adventure the trip of a lifetime!

Alaska's Boardwalk Lodge is pleased to donate a 4-night/3-day trip to the Lodge for the 2012 or 2013 Resort Season. The value of the trip for ONE is approximately $5,300. Or, the length of the trip may be increased with the value of each additional night/day combination increasing by $700.

Alaska's Boardwalk Lodge is located in the lush rainforest of Prince of Wales Island, just 35 minutes from Ketchikan in Southeast Alaska. This world-class fishing lodge bears the elite Orvis fly-fishing lodge endorsement — demonstrating its exceptional fishing, facilities, and commitment to excellence as one of the best fishing lodges in Alaska. Three times voted "Lodge of the Year," this breathtaking resort has been dubbed "King of Alaska Fishing Lodges."

The lodge offers the best of both worlds: exceptional saltwater fishing and fly fishing. Our Orvis-endorsed guides lead daily freshwater excursions with your choice of 23 lakes, rivers, and streams nearby. U.S. Coast Guard-certified skippers charter our 28-foot fishing boats for saltwater adventures — targeting halibut, king salmon, silver salmon, and several other species.

At Boardwalk, it’s not just the fishing — there’s something for everyone. Many guests enjoy a host of non-fishing adventures for individuals, couples, families and large groups alike. The lodge staff works tirelessly to ensure your Alaska adventure is most memorable. Our guests receive first-class accommodations and dine on gourmet cuisine prepared by our hand-picked culinary staff.
