Welcome to Salmon Run: A Family-Run Alaska Fishing Lodge
Salmon Run Fishing Lodge is a small, family-run Alaska fishing lodge in remote Southeast Alaska.
Located about 40 miles west of Juneau, the lodge sits right at the mouth of the beautiful Excursion Inlet and is surrounded by pristine wilderness.
From the moment your floatplane touches down, the crisp sea air and wild landscape let you know you’ve arrived somewhere truly amazing.
This is Wild Alaska.

Our Story:
What began as a dream of sharing our love for Alaska has grown into a thriving lodge filled with adventure and community. For nearly a decade, we’ve poured our hearts into building a place where guests can unplug, fish hard, and relax even harder. Along the way, we’ve celebrated first-time anglers reeling in their first halibut, watched whales surface just beyond the dock, and welcomed back families and friends who return year after year.
Our story is still unfolding, and every guest becomes a part of it.
Why Choose a Family-Run Lodge?
At Salmon Run, you’re not just another booking, you’re part of the family from the moment you arrive. Our team lives and fishes here, which means you get genuine hospitality, local knowledge, and personalized attention that big operations simply can’t match. Every detail, from the morning coffee on the porch to the way your fish is processed and packed, is handled with care. Choosing a family-run Alaska fishing lodge means choosing warmth, authenticity, and memories that feel last a lifetime.
What to Expect
A stay with us combines rugged adventure with the comforts of home. Your days will be spent exploring rich fishing grounds for salmon, halibut, and so much more with boats and gear provided to make the most of your self-guided experience. Back at the lodge you’ll unwind in cozy rooms with private bathrooms, enjoy hearty, homemade meals, and share stories on our wrap-around porch. With on-site fish processing, you’ll leave with your catch prepared and ready to share back at home. Every part of your stay is designed to make tour Alaska fishing trip unforgettable.
Adventure Beyond the Catch
While fishing is at the heart of Salmon Run, there’s so much more to discover. Watch humpback whales breach in the inlet, spot bald eagles circling above, or catch sight of bears foraging along the shoreline. On some nights, the waters glow with magical bioluminescence, turning an evening dock adventure into something out of a dream. For those who want to explore beyond the dock, Southeast Alaska offers hidden trails, berry-picking, and rope swings into glacial lakes. Here, adventure is everywhere you look.
