23 to 26th August - Although I feel reluctant to highlight any one place in Alaska as our favorite because every thing we did and see was amazing to us, I would have to say that we had the most wonderful 4 days at the SSCL, we were charmed by its remoteness, David and Joanne’s warm welcome, the care and...

From the moment the small plane landed on the beach... then when our guide Eric "extracted" us with the 4-wheeler.... we knew this was going to be an epic adventure! In teeming rain, we arrived soaked to the skin to our overnight cabin. Once in, the cabin was toasty warm and inviting - wood stove and all. What a pleasure....... More

We spent three days and two nights at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge from July 3 to 5 in 2011. We expected the stay at Silver Salmon Creek to be the highlight of our Alaska trip and we were not disappointed. We were interested in brown bear viewing and on a previous trip to Alaska took a day trip into Katmai... More

My wife and I arrived at the lodge July 2nd for an overnight bear watching experience. It was a Saturday and there were only two other guests. We had our own guide for the two of us. It was fantastic. With just the two of us with one guide we were able to get within 30 feet of a mother... More

Silver Salmon is a dream come true...a fly-in fishing and bear viewing lodge with beautiful accommodations, welcoming hosts, and delicious food.

If you are interested in great bear viewing, Silver Salmon Creek Lodge is the place to be. There was an abundance of bears, in fact many bears routinely hung out in the field in front of the lodge in the evenings. The guides were great. We were out photographing the bears from 8:30a.m. to 9:30p.m. with a 1 hour break... More

This was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. As the previous poster mentioned (actually fellow guests and trailer-buddies of ours), the moment you arrive, the bear viewing starts. Dave (our guide) and all the other guides are passionate, knowledgeable, approachable and very professional. We couldn't have asked anything more of our time here. The bears are habituated,... More

We spent 2 full days and nights at SSCL in early June. Watching the bears was a truly amazing experience - seeing them close up in their natural habitat was fantastic ! We flew in from Soldotna, arranged by SSCL, flight was excellent and the Natron Air pilot was very professional and friendly. Upon landing on the beach we were... More

Visited Silver Salmon Creek Lodge for 4 days of brown bear viewing and photography. If you want to see plenty of bears in their natural habitat, up close and personal, then this is the place to go! David Coray runs a great camp. The guides are professional and friendly, and are more than willing to go out of their way... More
