Cordova is located on the majestic Prince William Sound at the mouth of the Copper River. Known the world over for its abundant and prized salmon, the Copper River drains one of the most pristine watersheds in North America, encompassing over 26,000 square miles.
Our host is the award-winning Orca Adventure Lodge, at the site of an historic seafood cannery on Orca Inlet. Our cozy lodge features a restaurant and coffee shop, and guests can kayak from shore or just kick back and watch for jumping salmon.
A bush community off the road system, Cordova is only accessible by plane or boat. Guests must book air travel from ANC to CDV on Alaska Airlines Flight 66 on July 13th and CDV to ANC on Flight 61 July 18th upon registration.
