Silver King Lodge

For more comfort and pampering during the hours when you’re not stalking massive tarpon, this dedicated fishing lodge is the first choice. The large complex of rooms and common areas is built on pilings above the river and flood levels, and is connected by a network of covered wooden walkways. Room quality, food, and service are miles above anything else in the area. The whole place is awash in varnished hardwoods. In fact, the varnish is so well maintained you might reach for your sunglasses inside the rooms or bar and dining areas. The rooms themselves feel massive, and all come with two queen beds and built-in racks for all your fishing gear. The lodge has a lovely outdoor pool and covered Jacuzzi. Abundant and varied buffet meals are served. You might not find better coconut-battered snook anywhere.
