Fun Facts

Unlike much of Alaska's rugged terrain, this area is characterized by its flat landscape and numerous interconnected lakes, making it ideal for canoeing and kayaking.

The area features a 13-mile canoe trail system that allows visitors to paddle through a series of lakes and portages, offering a serene and immersive nature experience.

In winter, the area transforms into a snowy wonderland, perfect for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmachining.

The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including moose, beavers, and a wide range of bird species, making it a great spot for wildlife observation.

The area provides several public-use cabins and campsites, allowing visitors to enjoy a back-to-basics camping experience amidst nature.

The lakes in the area are stocked with fish like rainbow trout and Arctic char, making it a popular destination for anglers.
