About the Lodge
Established in 1974
Our small family-owned lodge holds a unique legacy, grandfathered in by the pioneering spirit of homesteaders Roy Randall and soon accompanied by his wife Shannon, who first carved their existence from the untamed landscape. With deep but humble roots in the rugged terrain, our lodge offers more than just accommodation; it embodies a tradition of hospitality and a commitment to preserving the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Within the Kodiak Islands, Afognak Island is renowned for its pristine wilderness, diverse wildlife, and unparalleled remote beauty, making it an ideal vacation for adventurers seeking an authentic Alaskan experience.
At Afognak Wilderness Lodge, nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of north Afognak Island, we invite you to begin crafting memories of a lifetime as you immerse yourself in the timeless beauty and rich heritage of this remarkable island.
Access our lodge via a scenic 25-minute floatplane ride from the town of Kodiak (or 50 minutes from Homer) to our floating dock. The special aspect of our remote location is being situated perfectly among abundant natural resources. Our wilderness abounds with diverse wildlife, from the iconic Kodiak brown bear, various sea mammals, majestic bald eagles and charming puffins. Experience an unparalleled saltwater fishing expedition with halibut, pacific rockfish, lingcod or saltwater and freshwater salmon.
Between our fishing excursions, captivating wildlife, breathtaking landscapes and cozy accommodations, it’s no surprise we’ve been a coveted retreat for vacationers since 1974. Our flexible booking options enable you to craft the experience you desire with our experienced USCG licensed guides, who are wise stewards of the environment.
