Morrisons Lodge is our preferred lodging location in our area for convenient orientation and launching of your trip.
The other wilderness lodges in the Wild and Scenic corridor are privately owned and operated, open seasonally from May to November. They operate with a unique challenge ~ All equipment and food has been rafted, jet boated, or 4-wheel driven in. They are clean and comfortable, quirky, and food is plentiful and hearty. Each room has a bathroom with flush toilets, hot showers, and 2 beds (usually singles). All linens, towels and bedding will be provided at the lodge. Shampoo is not provided, but soap is. As with the funky nature of the lodges, the towels are a little rough and the sheets a little scratchy, but overall they provide a clean comfortable stay. Some lodges offer gift shop items. Consider bringing some cash if you would like to make a purchase. All the lodges are on generators and will provide light and charging opportunities during your stay. At 10pm the generators are turned off (except for Marial Lodge), so bring a flashlight to find the bathroom. Do not bring hair appliances as they will cause the generator to stop. If you are in need of bringing a CPAP for Sleep Apnea- bring a battery pack. Again, there is no power available at night in most locations.
