 Lake Louise
The clear waters of Lake Louise (and adjoining Susitna Lake) cover 37 square miles and is Alaska's largest lake system with road access. Located at the end of a 19-mile road that branches off the Glenn Highway at Mile 159.8, Lake Louise is the eastern-most community of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The area serves as a "jumping off point" to remote Alaska as well as a convenient overnight stay for travelers between Anchorage and Valdez.
Visitors can enjoy year-round adventure here, including trophy lake trout, grayling and burbot fishing, views of Tazlina Glacier, hiking and berry picking. Winter at Lake Louise is a bustling time of year with cross-country skiing, snowmobile events and sled dog races. Just about every weekend in the winter offers a different event. This is a favorite playground for Alaskans year-round and is also a popular get-away for corporate retreats. Lodges, campgrounds boat rentals, guide services and a public boat launch area available to help you start your expedition.
Visitors can usually catch a glimpse of some of the abundant wildlife in the area. Perhaps most impressive of the wildlife viewing opportunities is the annual migration of the Nelchina caribou herd each October through November. Other wildlife that call Lake Louise home includes moose, wolf, bear, fox, sheep, lynx, trumpeter swans, cormorants and more.
