Drifters Lodge is a small locally owned and operated fishing lodge situated at the headwaters of the world famous Kenai River in Cooper Landing, Alaska.
We have been in operation for 11 seasons and strive to improve and expand our services we offer to our guests. Most of our staff and volunteers have
been here for many years.
The lodge staff tries to help you with all your needs which we refer to as, “Relaxed Pampering” this is what we strive for most Special Requests: Drifters
Lodge will do what we can to make your Alaskan Vacation a vacation to remember. If there is something you would like when you are here or want to do
while you are here we will try to make it happen. We should know in advance for most of these special items so please give us enough lead time to
prepare. We offer 1st class accommodations and so many fishing choices that it could take a month or more to take advantage of all of them. Cooper
Landing is famous for the variety of activities that are available, so if fishing is not your thing don’t be alarmed there are still many other activities to keep
everyone busy. See our Activities page to get some of the ideas.
The Lodge has a nightly campfire at the river’s edge to unwind after a great day of adventures (Marshmallows provided) or maybe the new Swedish Sauna
with its big picture window overlooking the Kenai River and Chugach Mountains is your choice for relaxing. Either way we have you covered.
Drifters Lodge is road accessible via a scenic 99 mile drive south of Anchorage by highway which is open year round.
Centrally located on the Kenai Peninsula, Drifters Lodge is a great home away from home, allowing easy day trips to Seward, Kenai/Soldotna, Homer and
Girdwood/Whittier. So if you’re planning includes these or other south central Alaska destinations you don’t need to pack and unpack multiple times
taking up a lot of your precious vacation time. Make Drifters you base of operations.
