COPPER CENTER, ALASKA - Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge in Copper Center will open for the season on Thursday, May 14th. On that date, the Whistle Stop Bar will officially open for the season at 1pm and Two Rivers Restaurant at 5pm. This gives area residents the exclusive opportunity to enjoy the lodge's amenities in a quieter atmosphere before cruise tours begin arriving on Saturday, May 16th.

Copper River Princess opened in 2002 and offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks at Two Rivers Restaurant and Whistle Stop Bar, assorted goods at The Company Store, 85 guest rooms, exciting excursions, hiking trails on property, and great views of Mt. Drum. The lodge and its amenities will be open to the public until it closes for the season in September.
