The Eklutna Glacier carved this valley as it retreated, leaving horizontal scarring on the rock formations as evidence of its passage. Glacial and freshwater streams flowing into the valley created the 7-mile long lake.
Eklutna Lake is an excellent place to canoe, kayak, fish, wind surf, sail, and motorboat. However, the weather can change rapidly in this valley, bringing sudden high winds, especially in the afternoon. Watch the weather closely and always wear a personal floatation device when boating.


Facilities: The Eklutna Lake Campground provides restrooms, water, picnic tables, and fire rings.

Best Time To Visit: Eklutna Lake is open year-round.

Fees: There is a fee to access Eklutna Lake..

Accessibility: Unknown

Rules: Boats must be carried by hand from the parking lot to the lake, a distance of up to several hundred feet depending on the level of the lake. It is high in the fall, but as much as 40 feet lower in the spring. Very little water enters the lake during the cold winter months but it fills rapidly in the summer with rain, snow, and glacial melt.
