Southeast Alaska's best kept secret

Thorne Bay Lodge is Located on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. We offer Guided fishing trips for halibut and salmon on the calm waters of the inside passage. We fish the protected waters on the east side of Prince of Wales Island which are sheltered from the oceans swells which come from the west. We also offer Self-Guided fishing on the rivers of the island and Self-Guided hunting in the vast forests of the island. Being centrally located on Prince of Wales Island gives you access to 2,600 square miles of public land. A large portion of which is within Tongass National Forest. With over 990 miles of coastline and over 1,500 miles of road maintained by the Forest Service you have access to nearly the entire island to hunt and fish. Prince of Wales Island is the third largest island in the US territory. Flights go through Seattle, Washington and arrive in Ketchikan, Alaska.

 

The island is accessible by a 30 minute float plane ride from Ketchikan airport or a 3 hour ferry ride. We will pick you up at the dock.

 

We have 3 private suites, each suite sleeps 4 adults. A private kitchen and bathroom in each suite. Each suite comes with a Crewcab Pickup to explore the island.
