Wildlife of Southeast Alaska
Your time at Salmon Run is more than just a fishing trip, it’s a full-on Alaskan experience. Whether you’re on the water or off the beaten path, every day brings something new.
Marine life in the inlet...
The wildlife of Alaska doesn’t stop at the shore. Excursion Inlet and the surrounding waters are full of life. Guests often see humpback whales breaching, sea lions playing along the dock and porpoises racing the boats. Seals rest of nearby rocks, and orca pods swim up the inlet in search of salmon. Every day on the water brings a new chance for breathtaking encounters.
Photographer's paradise...
With its variety of landscapes, shore, and marine life, Alaska is a dream destination for photographers. Whether you’re capturing the golden light of a bald eagle’s wings or the splash of a humpback whale’s fluke as he dives on the horizon, you’ll experience nature like you’ve never seen before.
Bears, moose and more...
Alaska is home to incredible land animals, and many can be spotted from the porch of our remote Alaska fishing lodge. Brown bears patrol the shoreline in search of salmon, while black bears wander the forest edges. Overhead, bald eagles soar with wings spread wide, scanning the water for fish. Watching these animals, and more, in their natural environment is a true highlight of any trip.
Experiencing the wildlife of Alaska is one of the most unforgettable parts of staying at Salmon Run Fishing Lodge. From the moment you arrive, the remote wilderness surrounds you with sights and sounds you can't find anywhere else.
