This intimate, comfortable lodge has been carved out of some of the most inhospitable country imaginable, with nothing but flat, windswept, sagebrush-dotted volcanic plains as far as the eye can see.

One might question the reasoning behind the expense of building such inviting accommodations in such desolate surroundings…until one has the chance to cast a line into nearby Jurassic Lake! This natural stillwater with its 15-mile shoreline, ocean-sized swells and breathtakingly clear blue waters is a natural phenomenom, and until relatively recently, free of any trout. In the few short years since their introduction, the lake’s rainbows have quickly reached massive proportions, due largely to the lake’s staggering population of freshwater scuds. Trout in the 6-12 pound category are simply average, and fish in excess of 20 pounds are seen here on a fairly regular basis (seen, but only rarely landed!). And in addition to owning a large portion of the lake’s shoreline, the lodge also has sole access to miles of the lakes only tributary, the Barrancoso River, which also produces some enormous fish. Harsh country, huge trout…and now, thanks to Laguna Verde Lodge, a comfortable place to call home during your stay.
