Ravencroft Lodge is located on the south shore of seldom-frequented Port Fidalgo Inlet, in the eastern sector of Prince William Sound. We are 40 miles from Valdez, 50 miles from Cordova and 90 miles from Whittier. These distances are water-taxi mileage.

Float-plane distances are somewhat shorter and are normally gauged in flight time rather than miles. By float-plane, Ravencroft Lodge is approximately 20 minutes from Valdez, 20 minutes from Cordova and 1 Hr. and 15 minutes from Anchorage.
Port Fidalgo is surrounded by rain forested slopes backed by high mountain peaks. It has several sheltered bays with short coastal rivers at their head.

This area is home to a teeming variety of water fowl, seabirds and marine mammals. Bears stalk spawning salmon in the many salmon streams. For history buffs, Port Fidalgo's past includes Russian Fur Traders, English and Spanish Sailing Ship Explorers, Mining, Fur Farming and Logging - the vestiges of which can be found by the careful explorer here and there.
