At 4,000 feet elevation, the view is so breathtaking that the Crooked Fork Lodge is more than just
a place; it's a feeling that you just have to experience. Located in the Blue Mountains of southeast
Washington in Garfield County, there are very few places like this - it's as if you are on top of the
world. It provides an incomparable wildlife experience as it borders and views the Wenaha Wilderness
(177,000 acres). This remote, private 30 acre site was designed and built for recreational fun, and
offers truly the ultimate in seclusion. The views of Crooked Fork Canyon and its animals are unbeatable.
The nearest full-time neighbor is about three miles away; we think we have the last commercial power
pole on earth! 65 miles southwest of Lewiston, Idaho there is world class fishing within 20 minutes on
the famous Grande Ronde River, which boasts the greatest Steelhead and Salmon fishing around. And
from the Grande Ronde you can float or boat to Hells Canyon on the equally famous Snake River.
The lodge is surrounded by auto-irrigated food plots which are planted with the best attractant foods
for deer, elk, turkeys, grouse, ducks and geese. Elk, Whitetail and Mule deer are found in the yard
virtually everyday year round. Bear, cougar, Big Horn sheep, moose and mountain goats are also
part of the wildlife experience that can viewed from the lodge. This property and the surrounding
area are full of a wide array of adventures from wilderness viewing to hiking, horseback trail riding,
four wheeling, hunting and snow sports, with snowmobiling right up to your door! Once a year deer
and elk shed their antlers, and we pick up enough antlers to pay for the feed bill! There is literally
miles and miles of places to explore and things to do right out your front door.
The mountain top house is custom built and designed for maximum outdoor viewing of the expansive,
surrounding wilderness. Built in the year 2000, the cabin is a quarter mile off a forest service road
which allows us year round access. The 2200 square foot open floor plan offers full utilities, tile and
carpet flooring, central heating and air. The design includes a recreation room, three bedrooms
(potentially four or five), two baths with a beautiful wood stove that will keep you warm even during
the coldest weather.
The third story lookout tower has a 360 degree view above the tree tops of the Washington, Oregon
and Idaho mountains. There is a 24 ft x 36 ft insulated garage providing a wood stove and a large
open bay garage with enough room for all your outdoor recreational toys.
