Driving Directions

Drifters Lodge

Drifters Lodge is located in the small town of Cooper Landing, about 2 hours south of Anchorage. Most people fly into Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage (ANC) to start their trip. You will need a rental car to get to us unless you have booked an All-inclusive Package with transportation included.

We’re on the Sterling Highway, on the river side. We have a large wooden sign with yellow lettering out front! Parking is available right off the road in front of our main office building. Please park out front and check in with us in the office. From there, we can direct you further. 

Parking space is limited and we do not have room for RVs. If you are part of a large group, please consider car-pooling. Call our office for further details and instructions!

Remember to allow extra time for road work. Summer is construction season in Alaska.
