I highly recommend this place to spend a great time. The scenery is incredible and the fishing is excellent. The staff is welcoming and helpful; we told them we needed gas and they brought it to us within a few hours. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return for another week.

Over the years (decades, actually), we have used their services for our trips between our home and our property. They are always reliable, accommodating, friendly, their rates are reasonable, and they are a great help. Once, they even did an unscheduled emergency flight, after hours, to pick up an injured family member; our vehicle was already parked nearby. And, as a reminder, their pilots are excellent pilots.

Hi Shane, it's June 6, 2026, and in a week we'll be at Gordon Lake for our 20th trip. The shopping is almost done, we're ready to go… I already know what to expect from you guys at NWF… I don't know how many trips I have left, but at 80 years old, I fully intend to enjoy every opportunity, rain or shine! Thanks everyone for the excellent service and I hope you'll check out your blog.

They flew us out to their remote cabin/outpost on Kishkutena Lake and it was a wonderful experience. The pilots, both going and returning, were both very friendly and had a good sense of humor. They helped us load and unload our gear and made sure the cabin was in good working order. They even cleaned the refrigerator upon our arrival. The flight was short but pleasant. There were four of us on the plane, plus the pilot. Three of us shared the bench behind the pilot and the fourth sat up front. It was a bit tight, but no big deal. There is a small gift shop in the main building as well as restrooms for before and after the flight.

Awesome! What a wonderful experience to share with my friends! Shane is professional, punctual, and very friendly. The cabins are comfortable and welcoming. We had the lake to ourselves and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend.
