Hearst Lodge

The Hearst Lodge, with four bedrooms plus two adjacent cabins, was built as a fishing lodge on a dramatic site above salmon spawning pools on the Big Salmon River by newspaper magnate J. Randolph Hearst.

The Hearst Lodge, about 2.8 kilometres from the Interpretive Centre, is accessible on a one-hour hike, via a scenic footpath along the river. A second suspension bridge is being planned to enhance the day adventure programs at the Hearst Lodge.
