I understand and agree to the following:

1. Alaska’s Boardwalk Lodge (Lodge) conducts Sport Fishing and other outdoor activities at wilderness sites in Alaska.
2. Emergency medical help may not be immediately available but can usually be obtained within a few hours.
3. Sport Fishing and other outdoor recreational activities are inherently dangerous.
4. I will be fishing along wilderness rivers and streams.
5. I will be fishing from small, open boats in coastal seas.
6. I will be at sites that could be visited by bears or other wild animals, animals that are unpredictable and may pose danger to my person.
7. I will come in contact with aquatic life, including waterborne pathogens that pose danger to my person.
8. I will be in proximity to fish hooks, sharp filet knives, boat motors, and other equipment that pose a danger to my person.
9. I may be allowed to drive Lodge owned vehicles in the vicinity of the Lodge and in such case, I agree to drive safely and in compliance with all applicable motor vehicle laws and regulations and the Lodge’s insurance policy.
10. I have a valid in force automobile liability insurance policy which includes coverage for personal injury, property damage, medical coverage and uninsured motorist coverage.
11. I have sole responsibility for my safety and well-being, and will act accordingly.
12. I have the responsibility to stay aware of and comply with the recommendations of federal and state governments and agencies in guidance regarding social distancing and wearing protective items, such as facemasks, face guards, protective eye coverings to minimize the risk of exposure to bacterial or viral infection or illness, including but not limited to those associated with -19.
13. I have the responsibility to wear the life preservers provided when I am in boats or near water.
14. The Lodge will attempt to freeze, vacuum seal, and otherwise protect my catch; but I understand that fish may spoil as a result of power failures or other such unforeseen problems over which the Lodge has no control. I hold the Lodge blameless should my catch spoil either at the Lodge or in transit to my home unless it is proven to be the fault of the Lodge in processing the catch.
15. Any photos taken of me by the Lodge staff while at the Lodge or while fishing or otherwise involved in Lodge recreational activities are the property of the Lodge, and any photos I send to the Lodge subsequent to my trip will become the property of the Lodge. I release for possible publication for advertising any and all such photos.

I hereby release and agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lodge, its principals, employees, agents, and assigns (Releasee) from responsibility from any and all claims of every nature or kind arising in any way from my participating in activities associated with the Lodge including, without limitation, driving Lodge owned vehicles. This release includes any and all claims for loss or damage, including loss of or damage to personal property, personal injury or death, whether or not caused by Releasee’s negligence acts or omissions. This release also includes any and all claims arising from becoming ill or contracting any bacteria or virus, including but not limited to -19, unless such was intentionally caused or resulted from the gross negligence of the Lodge.

If any portion of this Release shall be held invalid under law, those parts that are not held invalid shall continue in full force and effect.

If, at any time, either party shall employ counsel in connection with the enforcement of its rights under the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover actual, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred with respect to pursuing such rights.
