Lake Country

Big Lake A 67-mile shoreline offers year-round recreation and lakeside living and dining. Enjoy views of Mt. Susitna, Mt. McKinley and the Talkeetna Mountain range. Local festivals, swimming, camping, boating, fishing, jet skiing and tour boat rides highlight summer activities. Lakes freeze up in the winter to allow snowmachine competitions, dog mushing, ATV and motorcycle racing, and cross-country skiing. State campgrounds, lakeside lodges and houseboats are available.
