Established 1970

Jack Johnson and his family built their homestead in the area which now encompasses the Tangle River Inn in 1953. He and his father laid most of the trails in the area, which are now used for hunting, fishing & other recreation. A map of the extensive trail systems in the area, provided by the Bureau of Land Management, is available at the Inn.

Jack and his wife Naidine built the Tangle River Inn 45 years ago, and have been constantly improving and expanding it since that time. Jack handles the mechanical end, and Naidine and her staff keep visitors coming back for more of their unique brand of Alaskan hospitality.
