Widely considered to be Alaska’s most scenic seaside town, Sitka is set on the outer banks of Baranof Island
on the waterways of the Inside Passage. Mt. Edgecumbe, an extinct, snowcapped volcano that bears a striking
resemblance to Japan’s Mt Fuji, presides over the landscape, while Tongass National Forest, with its massive
stands of western hemlock and Sitka spruce delivers magnifi cent views of the Alaskan wilderness. As the only
community in southeastern Alaska that fronts the Pacifi c Ocean, Sitka looks out over a waterscape dotted with
heavily wooded islands, one of which, Apple Island, is the exclusive home of Talon Lodge.

Sitka’s history dates back over 5,000
years ago to the time when it was settled
by the Tlingit (KLING-IT) Indians. At
least a quarter of the town’s population
today can still claim Native ancestry and
their heritage is widely evident in local
woodwork, silver carvings, basketry,
weaving and totem carvings. Today,
Sitka is a virtual paradise for outdoor
enthusiasts and is legendary for its
saltwater, stream and lake fishing and
black-tailed deer hunting, as well as
for its hiking, seaplane tours, and sea
kayaking. Sitka’s wildlife is as magnificent
as its scenery. The area is home to an
abundance of land and marine species,
including brown bears, black-tailed deer,
sea otters, river otters, harbor seals and
bald eagles. Sitka also offers excellent
opportunities for whale watching and
bird watching.

At Talon Lodge, we leave nothing to
chance. We have combined Alaska’s
most spetaular setting with large and
comfortable boats, the area’s most
experienced captains and world class
cuisine. More importantly, we have
assembled a service staff that is
attentive to our guests’ every need. Our
greatest compliment comes from a host
of guests that tell us over and over again
– “Talon Lodge delivers everything that
they advertise and Talon exceeds our
expectations”.

When you have your own private beach that overlooks Alaska’s Inside Passage, with eagles
overhead and the occasional whale passing by – you need to be right in the middle of the
action. The Talon Lodge Beach Bar is a one-of-a-kind facility that allows Talon guests to
enjoy Alaska in a warm and comfortable environment, yet be outside with all of the sights
and sounds that make Alaska so spectacular.

The saltwater sport offered by Talon
Lodge is nothing short of fantastic.
According to the Alaska Fish and Game
department, Sitka anglers benefit from
a saltwater salmon fishery that is the
best in Alaska. In addition to great
salmon fishing the Halibut fishing is
Sitka is some of the best Alaska and,
fortunately, the Halibut fishing grounds
are only minutes from the Salmon
fishing grounds. Sitka also provides great
Ling Cod and Yellow Eye fishing.
