Nancy Lake State Recreation Area

At state parks and campgrounds, pets must be leashed and accompanied by their owners at all times; unleashed dogs are permitted in the wilderness but must be under voice direction. If you have a pet, please clean up after it. Within 100 feet of a cabin, sled dogs and horses should not be tied. Unlike most Alaskan park sites, Nancy Lake State Recreation Area is unique. It's one of Alaska's few flat, lake-studded landscapes that's been protected for pleasure. The pristine waters of the recreation area are surrounded by unspoilt forests, providing a serene backdrop for canoeing, fishing, hiking, and camping. The sloping terrain is perfect for cross-country skiing, dog mushing, and snowmachining in the winter.At Mile 67.3 of the Parks Highway, turn west onto Nancy Lake Parkway to join the recreation area. The Nancy Lake Parkway continues southwest for 6.5 miles to South Rolly Lake Campground; the parkway is not plowed beyond the Winter Trailhead at mile 2.2 in the winter.
