Unalakleet

Unalakleet, a city nestled on the shores of the Norton Sound, boasts a unique blend of Alaskan culture and natural beauty.  This community thrives on fishing and hunting, with residents harvesting salmon, king crab, caribou, and various other wild game that form a staple of their diet.

Unalakleet's main attraction is arguably its namesake river. The Unalakleet River not only teems with fish, but also serves as a checkpoint for the legendary Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and the Iron Dog Snowmobile Race, two iconic Alaskan winter competitions. Adventure seekers can immerse themselves in the wilderness at the Unalakleet River Lodge, an all-inclusive retreat offering cozy cabins, delicious meals, and guided fishing expeditions. Foodies can indulge in traditional Alaskan salmon feasts prepared by local chefs, or unwind with signature cocktails at the Unalakleet River Lodge's bar. While shopping choices are limited to a handful of small stores, Unalakleet offers a taste of authentic Alaskan life.
