Deshka Landing in Willow Alaska on the east bank of the Susitna River provides the primary access point for reaching Deshka River, and the lower Susitna River and Yentna River drainages. When we guide salmon fishing trips to Deshka River we start nearly all of those trips from Deshka Landing boat launch. The Landing has a large parking lot and boat launches are the primary summer business, however, there is a small campground located inside the landing gates in conjunction with Deshka Landing Lodge, and in addition, Riverside boat launch / campground is located just outside the Deshka Landing gate in addition to Eagle Quest Cabins and Lodge which provides both summer and winter lodging near the landing. For summer boat launching and winter parking and access information and rates for Deshka Landing visit their website before you phone, as the website is available 24 hours per day 7 days per week, while office hours at the landing are variable depending upon conditions and the season.
