The Susitna Lodge was built in the 1950’s and served as a seasonal roadhouse along the Denali Highway which was the only route at the time to access Denali National Park. It also operated as a hunting lodge plane base for remote hunting and fishing trips. Today, Susitna Adventure Lodge strives to provide an authentic Alaskan winter experience with all the comforts of home. During the winter the lodge is accessible by private ski plane. Optional winter sports activities include dog sled rides, ice fishing, cross country skiing, guided snowshoe hikes, snow machine day tours and backcountry ski or snowboarding adventures.
Whether you are arriving into Anchorage from another Alaska destination, or this is your first stop in Alaska, an overnight in Anchorage is recommended prior to visiting Susitna Adventure Lodge. A private vehicle and driver will meet you to provide a transfer to your hotel. Enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown Anchorage.
