About the Port
Perched on a bluff overlooking the Susitna River, this remote lodge sits within view of Denali, the continent's highest mountain, long known to Alaska Native peoples as "The Great One." Reached by motorcoach along the George Parks Highway or by dedicated rail service, the property serves as a peaceful basecamp for travelers seeking mountain scenery without a strenuous itinerary. Nature trails wind through the surrounding grounds, offering close encounters with boreal forest and, on clear days, unobstructed views of the peak.
A multi-story treehouse built by builder Pete Nelson provides an elevated vantage point for taking in the landscape, while the tour desk arranges optional outings for those wanting a more active day. Guests otherwise are free to set their own pace, whether relaxing on the property or exploring nearby trails. The lodge makes an easy gateway to Denali's vast wilderness for anyone visiting Alaska's Interior.
