EnglishWhat Is Glacier Bear Lodge? Yakutat, Alaska Fishing Lodge Explained
Updated
Glacier Bear Lodge is a fresh- and saltwater fishing lodge in Yakutat, Southeast Alaska, positioned as a base for guided and non-guided fishing, glacier tours, and wilderness travel. It combines on-site lodging, a restaurant and bar, and a pro shop with access to the rivers and waters around Yakutat. It is best suited to travelers who want an Alaskan fishing trip with comfortable accommodations rather than a remote do-it-yourself camp.
Where Glacier Bear Lodge Is Located
The lodge sits in Yakutat, Alaska, described on the site as a stunning wilderness setting surrounded by pristine rivers and glaciers. That location matters for two reasons:
- Fishing access: Yakutat's waters, including the Situk River referenced on the site, are the draw for anglers.
- Glacier access: The lodge's ocean vessels run guided glacier tours, and those trips can be paired with some fishing on the return to the dock.
What the Lodge Offers
Lodging
Guest rooms are described as including:
- Two new full-sized beds
- Full baths
- A sitting area
- Space to hang gear after a day on the water
The stated aim is comfort and convenience alongside the outdoor itinerary.
Restaurant and Bar
The on-site restaurant and bar serve meals and show sporting events on a big-screen TV. A billiards room is also available for unwinding after fishing.
Pro Shop
A pro shop on the second level of the main lodge carries flies for the Situk River along with merchandise.
Fishing Trips
Two formats are offered:
| Trip type | What it includes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Guided fishing | Expert guides with local knowledge and top-notch equipment | Anglers who want the best shot at target fish without planning logistics |
| Non-guided fishing | Access to Yakutat fishing grounds at your own pace | Self-directed anglers who want freedom and flexibility |
Glacier Tours
Guided glacier tours use the lodge's ocean vessels to bring guests close to well-known Alaska glaciers, with the option to add a little fishing on the way back to the dock.
Who It's For
Glacier Bear Lodge fits travelers who want a single base for a mixed Alaska trip — fishing plus glacier sightseeing — with meals, a bar, and gear shopping handled on site. It is less suited to anyone seeking a fully independent backcountry expedition or a lodge with no guided options, since guided fishing and guided glacier tours are central to what the site advertises.
The lodge has also hosted outdoor media: KSL Outdoors with Adam Eakle filmed salmon fishing on the Situk River there, with the visit covering Coho fishing, grizzly bears, and bald eagles.
