Packers Creek

Welcome!

Welcome to Historic Kalgin Island homestead, where you can fish with just the friends you brought with you,  because the stream and beach out front is private.  The camp accommodates up to 10 guests, and you can reserve it for your group exclusively.  The bag limit is 6 salmon a day, and if you want more, we know local commercial fishermen.  You can even go onto the commercial fishing boat for a day, weather permitting.

Alaska Island Retreat not only about fishing, its about getting away from the crowds that line public fishing holes, and enjoying one of Cook Inlet‘s most scenic locations in solitude. Beautiful views of 2 volcanoes are exceptional for photography fans. Your stay can be a culinary adventure.   The lodge is stocked with local delights; smoked salmon, caviar, wild natural teas from the forest,  raspberries and blueberries, and salmon liver pate, fish head soup and seaweed dishes for the more daring. Your hosts have been on the Island for forty years, and have developed an authentically local lifestyle.

The fishing opportunities are phenomenal, you can catch salmon from the beach or creek, or native rainbow trout in the nearby lake. You won’t go home fishless!

Besides, there are no BEARS on the Island, which makes it a perfect location to kick back, relax on the beach beside a camp fire, or for children to play safely on the beach.  They won’t get swept away is a swift river or get eaten by a bear, which is always a plus.
