Eklutna Lake is a great recreation spot, especially during summer. It's a big, long, cold, glacier-fed lake and can get choppy in a strong wind. Be careful and wear your life vest when boating!

Dont bother fishing but do side a bike along the lake. There is even a place to rent them from just in case you forgot your own or maybe you are from the Lower 48 and couldnt bring them. No worries!

Great place to play not far from Anchorage. Trail around the lake is very easy walking. Campground gets full on weekends. Lots of critters if you look for them on the mountain sides, this includes bears, so keep your eyes open. ATVs can be used on the trail on Sunday's through Wednesdays.

One of my favorite places to visit when we travel to this part of the state. Gorgeous views and a peaceful place to be. There is a road for non motor vehicles to the Glacier. Summer used to be able to rent bikes or kayaks. Not sure if that is still in place.

This is my favorite place to hike in AK! When we lived in AK we went here a few times. It is gorgeous in the summer. The grass is incredibly green! I just love it! Lots of misquitos though, take some bug spray.

Very nice state park with pleasant camping sites. Hiking/biking trails(bikes for rent), kayaks for rent (or bring your own). Be prepared to pack your trash out if you camp and miss trash pick-up day. The lake is amazing! During late summer/fall, plan to kayak early because in the afternoons, often very stiff winds come up from the south which can...

there are lots of trails to walk, camping is great, and if you own a kayak this is the place to go. There is a place to rent a kayak also.
I love the beauty of this area. The park ranger can get picky with holding you spot, so check out what the rules are and make sure you pay...

Be sure to check the day of the week. ORV's are allowed on certain days, and if you are hiking or biking you probably don't want to be going. You'll be doing good if your make it to the far end of the lake. Watch for bears, moose, Dall Sheep & maybe a Mtn Goat, eagles too. Not a place...
