Maclaren River Lodge
Alaska's Four Seasons
Wilderness Lodge
"Open Year Around"
42 mi. Denali Highway (from Paxson)

| The
Maclaren River Lodge is a rustic log building with an
authentic stone fireplace. The Lodge is situated between the Parks and the Richardson
Highways near the base of the Maclaren Glacier. Once the original travel
route into what is now called Denali Park, the Denali Highway is often
overlooked by today's travelers. |
If your looking for a "True Rustic Alaskan Experience", look no further.
Enjoy the spectacular views of the Maclaren Glacier
and the towering
Alaska mountain range
making us a perfect "Hide-a-way" with all
the amenities. We have a full service dinning room, bar (beer
and wine), lodging.
