Located 100 miles north of Anchorage, this is a very popular area for hunting, fishing, four-wheeling, and snow-machining, with convenient access to Denali (Mt. McKinley), Willow (Iditarod) and Talkeetna (a popular small tourist town). Many of our renters used the home as a base for day and overnight trips to Denali National Park. Park boundaries are just 45 miles north, but the park entrance (where you can take tour bus into park, see the visitor center and go to tourist shops) is 120 miles north. The entire drive is scenic. Talkeetna, a popular tourist destination with air/river/atv tours available, is only 30 miles away and makes a great day visit. Upper and Middle Caswell Lakes are nearby (within 2 miles) and have public access. Middle Caswell Lake is stocked by Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Salmon fishing is nearby at Willow Creek (20 miles) and Montana Creek (15 miles). We keep basic fishing gear at the cabin for our guest, we just ask that you if you break it or lose it, you pay to replace it.
