Loon Creek Retreat is a rare wilderness inholding set on 35 acres inside the Frank Church – River of No Return Wilderness, the largest wilderness area in the lower 48, totaling 2.4 million acres. The Retreat sits just 42 miles from Stanley, Idaho and 100 miles from Sun Valley, near the confluence of Mayfield, Trail, Deer and the world class fishery of Loon Creek surrounded by the towering peaks of the Salmon River Mountains. Visitors can access Loon Creek Retreat by the extremely scenic and well maintained gravel road through the Loon Creek Wilderness Portal or by small plane at the Loon Creek Airfield positioned two miles from the main lodge.

The property’s namesake, “gin-clear” Loon Creek, is a major tributary of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River and is regarded as a world class backcountry fly-fishing experience. Dozens of miles of wadeable water are a short walk from the front door providing superb Westslope Cutthroat, Rainbow, Brook and endangered Bull Trout fishing. Loon Creek also acts as essential rearing and spawning beds to Steelhead and Chinook Salmon. In addition to world class fly-fishing, Loon Creek Retreat provides access to hundreds of miles of motorized enjoyment, horseback riding and hiking on wilderness trails, big game hunting and therapeutic backcountry hot springs. Loon Creek Retreat is a true legacy property that is unlikely to ever be replicated.
