Outdoor Recreation

Have you ever seen caribou crossing the tundra, driven north across the Arctic Circle, or ridden a dog sled down the trail to a log cabin? Alaska offers a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities and experiences for those looking for an adventure.

If you're looking for a calm lake to float or a wild whitewater river run, there are rivers to test your skills.
The Campbell Creek Science Center or Arctic Interagency Visitor's Center can help you identify all those flowers you're seeing.
If you're interested in history, take a drive along the Taylor Highway through the historic Fortymile gold mining area or check out the Iditarod National Historic Trail.
Looking a remote adventure with the comfort of a cabin? Check out the White Mountains National Recreation Area for year-round adventures.
