Great place to go out and ride and if your are lucky you can make it out to the Knik glacier.

This place has endless options to have fun. There are lots of trails to explore by 4x4 or horse riding. You can also kayak and boat nearby. If you feel like extending the adventure, there are several cool spots for camping as well. Each time I experience something new. Enjoy!

Went to see the glacier and Holy mackerel it was beautiful. If any Alaskan hasn't gone out there they are totally missing out. Took the Argo out on a fantastic argoventure.

Nice campground. A little dusty from all the wheelers but spots 23,24,25, & 26 are the best ones back within the trees. Can get busy on 4th of July but over all a great area. If you don't have wheelers just know it is busy and folks like to party and have a great time.
