Iniakuk Lake Wilderness Lodge was built in the summer of 1974 using local logs harvested from the surrounding stands of white and black spruce. Each log was wrestled down the mountainside by hand, floated two miles across the lake, and then dragged uphill to where the lodge now stands. There were no horses or electric winches available for the process, but the main log structure was completed the end of that summer. In those first few years, our clients awoke with sawdust in their hair and baked goods were kneaded on a stump outside. There was no electricity and our idea of running water was the nearby inlet. Times have changed. The result is an exclusive resort with 24-hour electricity thanks to a state-of-the-art solar power installation. We are the only lodge in Alaska with round-the-clock utilities free of fossil fuels and noise pollution. During the summer we have hot and cold running water and cozy bedrooms with views of 5-mile Iniakuk Lake. In the winter we crank up the wood stove, bring in portable toilets and stoke the sauna for washing up under the Northern Lights. Your host in any season is John Gaedeke, a second-generation Brooks Range guide. John was raised at Iniakuk and enjoys continuing the traditions of conservation with an attention to the environment that his folks started over 30 years ago.
