Originally built in 1963 as a Kodiak Brown Bear hunting camp, Saltery Lake Lodge has been a Kodiak Island institution for over 60 years. Through a lucky series of business transactions, Dave's grandfather unknowingly acquired the property in the early 70s. When he discovered the lodge and how beautiful it was, Jim Magoffin made sure to keep Saltery Lake Lodge as a R&R destination for his employees at an early airline called Alaska International Air.

As Dave's grandfather aged, he leased the property to several outfitters who turned Satlery Lake Lodge into the premier Kodiak Island fishing destination that it is today. Dave has been managing the property since 2012.

Saltery Lake Lodge provided the highest level of customer service in the form of Chef Alana's 5-star dining, personalized guiding from our team of fishing experts, hight speed Starlink Wi-Fi, contrasted with a true Alaskan wilderness atmosphere throughout the entire week. Whether you're looking to fill your freezer, watch a mother bear feed her cubs, or experience one of the last great natural migrations left in the world, we can't wait to host you at Saltery Lake Lodge.

Saltery Lake Lodge is located in the remote wilderness of Kodiak Island, Alaska. Our property provides waterfront views of Saltery Lake, while being surrounded by four rivers that team with salmon. The ocean is just a mile to the south.  Once at the lodge, we access all of our unique fisheries from the comfort of high quality 4x4 vehicles.  Getting to the lodge is an easy 20 minute flight from the City of Kodiak in Saltery’s Cessna 185 floatplane, operated by third-generation lodge owner, and bush pilot, Dave Magoffin. Transportation to and from the lodge is included as part of your week-long package. No extra charter fees apply!
