Welcome to the land of dreams
Experience the unparalleled freshwater river and stream fishing of the Katmai region in the Bristol Bay area at Crystal Creek Lodge, your ultimate Fishing and Adventure destination. Here, you’ll discover the world’s largest Pacific salmon runs coursing through Bristol Bay rivers, while the rivers and streams of Katmai teem with wild Alaska rainbow trout, some of the largest on the planet. In our home waters of the Naknek River, anglers can reel in trout exceeding 30 inches in length.
For those craving adventure, the bountiful ecosystem of Katmai and the Alaska Peninsula boasts the highest concentration of Brown Bears globally, alongside an abundance of other wildlife including moose, caribou, walrus, and migratory birds. With Katmai & Lake Clark National Park, Becharof & Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge, Aniakchak National Monument, and millions of acres of untamed public lands just a stone’s throw away, the possibilities for exploration are endless. Since 1988, we’ve been uncovering the hidden gems of these regions while crafting an unparalleled adventure vacation destination for you.

5 out of 5 stars. The best, anywhere
Dear Orvis, I fly fish all over the world, each year. I have been to over a dozen lodges, and Crystal Creek is the most professionally run trout, char, salmon, waterfowl operation anywhere. They have access to world class rivers, a fleet of beavers in perfect condition, terrific guides, and the food is superb. Importantly, Dan Michels considers fighting for the protection of Bristol Bay as central to the lodges responsibilities as a steward of these rivers and lakes, and has played a critical role in supporting my organization and the Bristol Bay Defense Fund. When we needed to take a group of funders and conservation partners over the Pebble mine site, Dan and his staff dropped everything and personally flew us around. This led directly to much needed support and as a result the Bristol Bay Defense Fund was able to prevail in winning the support of all the key organizations in Bristol Bay to support action by the EPA to stop the Pebble. Thank you Crystal Creek!
