Wildlife

Our fly outs are a photographer's dream. Be sure to bring extra film for our trips. You usually don't have to try real hard to see wildlife in the Yentna River area. We would be happy to either drive you around in the boat or we can schedule a flight seeing trip directly from the lodge (great aerial viewing).

Commonly seen are moose, fox, wolf, beaver and a wide assortment of birds including eagles, owls, ducks, geese and much more!
