Thorne Bay Lodge
The walls of the two-bedroom rustic cabins at Thorne Bay Lodge display the taxidermy and tanning trophies of the sport fishermens' and hunters' past and are outfitted with modern kitchens and bathrooms.
The lodge provides guests with a large cleaning station supplied with seven freezers, vacuum-packing equipment and shipping containers for preparing the day’s catch.
Guides are available for saltwater fishing and nearby lakes and streams allow self-guided anglers to vie for freshwater fish. A grocery store is a short distance from the lodge to stock up on side dishes to serve alongside the salmon or halibut caught earlier in the day.
