This huge, all-inclusive lodge sits on a high bluff overlooking the Klutina and Copper Rivers. It has 85 rooms and suites, but it fills up fast with cruise ship passengers traveling north on land excursions. Most of the rooms include two queen beds and room for a crib or rollaway, as well as a few basic amenities. Guests enjoy a free breakfast buffet in a two-level dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows. There are plenty of kid-friendly activities on the property, including horseshoes, shuffleboard and board games. Make sure you participate in the nightly flag ceremony honoring military veterans. Lunch and dinner are available in either the elegant Two Rivers restaurant or the more casual Whistle Stop Bar and Grill.
Located just off the Richardson Highway, 16 miles south of Glennallen, the Copper River Princess Lodge is designed to be your starting point for all that the area has to offer. The lodge offers a wide range of guided wilderness excursions that you can customize as you wish. Ride on a dog sled, take a rafting trip down the Gulkana River, or visit the old mining ghost town of Kennecott. The lodge grounds have several walking trails, and you can connect to the scenic Klutina Lake Trail in just minutes. With so much to see and do, the Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge is the ideal family destination in this part of Alaska.
