Nancy Lake State Recreation Area, AK

Nancy Lake State Recreation Area is different from most Alaskan park areas. It is one of the few flat, lake-studded landscapes in Alaska preserved for recreation purposes. The recreation area's clear waters are ringed with unspoiled forests, and provide tranquil settings for canoeing, fishing, hiking and camping. In winter, the rolling topography is ideal for cross-country skiing, dog mushing and snow machining.

Facilities:

Canoe Trail System, Motorized boating, Fishing, Hiking, Camping, Public Use Cabins
