Alaska Salmon Fishing Paradise

Open in 2010 to guided fishing & rafting guests and permit holders only.

Alaska salmon fishing at it's best! The 155-acre Gulkana River RV Park located at mile 132 Richardson Hwy., 3 miles north of Gakona junction is a fisherman’s paradise, and is in the hub of Alaska’s most popular vacation area. You’ll enjoy fishing on our 750 feet of Gulkana River shoreline, as well as viewing the variety of spectacular wildlife. The Gulkana River system is the spawning grounds for the Copper River King and Sockeye Salmon.

This is a picture of our magnificent private fishing park taken from the Richardson Highway.

The Gulkana River King salmon season runs from June 1^st to July 19^th, while the Klutina River (20 miles to the south) season is extended until July 31^st. Plan your Alaska salmon fishing vacation early to reserve your spot.

The prime part of the world famous Copper River Sockeye run on the Gulkana River starts roughly at the end of the King Salmon season and continues until the end of August. Huge runs of these Copper River Sockeye pass by our park and hold up in several holes along our 750 ft. of shoreline. You can catch them directly from our banks or enjoy a float trip with our experienced and knowledgeable guides.

Fishing for all other species is allowed through the summer.

Aside from excellent fishing, the area abounds with wildlife and breathtaking scenery. A variety of amenities including hotels, B&B’s, restaurants, gas stations and Laundromats are located nearby.

Our scenic rafting trips include half day trips from our park to the Gulkana bridge and a full day trip from Sourdough to our park. The Gulkana River was designated as wild and scenic in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The abundant wild life along the Gulkana includes bald eagles, moose, caribou, and bear.

During the 2008 season people from all over the lower 48 and many Alaska residents, as well as a number of foreign visitors managed to capture many King Salmon in the 40 to 45 pound range. This was accomplished from the banks of the Gulkana River in our park and on our newly established guided fishing trips. The guided trips leave directly from the boat launch area in our park. At the end of the trip, you are returned to our park.
