The Lodge at Black Rapids

Location: 38 miles south of Delta Junction at Mile 227.4 on Richardson Hwy #4

Located in the heart of the Alaska Range and accessible by highway or air, the Lodge at Black Rapids is a modern year-round “Alaska Luxury Lodge and Adventures” destination and also home to the historic Rapids Roadhouse.  The beautiful facility sits atop a bluff overlooking Black Rapids Glacier and the Delta River in “Alaska’s Last Frontier.”

The lodge is owned by the Hopper family, hands-on owners who oversee many aspects of operation. They began construction on the new lodge in 2001 with the idea of preserving a piece of Alaska’s pioneer past with a commitment to recreating a tradition of comfortable accommodation at the gateway to the Alaskan wilderness. The two-story wood framed lodge is the essence of their imaginative plans using local timber and showcasing Alaskan artists’ works displayed throughout the lodge.

The lodge provides fantastic year-round adventures, exquisite gourmet meals, abundant wildlife and glorious northern lights exhibits set amid healing peace and quiet. It is a place of transformation, renewal and easy hospitality. The backyard provides access to waterfalls, mini-grand canyons, wildlife, mountains and great winter skiing/snowshoeing. The front yard opens to wild rivers, glaciers, more mountain trails and “the real Alaskan wilderness.” Enjoy a hike or a river walk, or simply absorb the beauty of Alaska relaxing on the spacious deck.

Accommodations include eight private, ensuite guest rooms, each uniquely designed and decorated with luxury comforts, ensuring an excellent deep sleep for every guest. The lodge also hosts all special events including celebrations, conferences and retreats.
