Fodor's Expert Review Kulik Lodge
Alaska, USA
Along the Kulik River between Nonvianuk and Kulik Lakes, this remote wilderness lodge sits in the northwest quadrant of the national park, near the boundary of the preserve. Guests reach the lodge by floatplane as a part of three- and four-day (or more) packages that include meals, boat, and guide service on the Kulik River, flights to Brooks Lodge for bear viewing, tours of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and other excursions. The lodge accommodates up to 28 people, and is popular with anglers as a base for fly-out fishing at hot spots in surrounding Katmai lakes and streams. Guests stay in cabins with electricity and private baths. In the evening, everyone gathers in the spruce lodge, which has a large stone fireplace, dining area, and bar.
