Anglers and hikers will find direct access to Birch Lake and surrounding trail networks at this full-hookup site in Alaska's interior. The cabin accommodation sits within the forested Birch Lake State Recreation Site, providing electric, water, and sewer connections for $55 per night.
Campers can fish the lake waters, explore hiking and biking trails through the wooded terrain, and bring pets along for the adventure. Reservations help secure this drive-in site during peak seasons. For those wanting a different experience, Lazy Moose RV Park operates northwest of the recreation area.
Description
Birch Lake SRA is nestled between a lily-pad covered lake and forested wetlands. There are 17 long parking spaces for motorhomes and 3 short parking spaces for smaller self-contained vehicles or for vehicles engaged in tent camping. There are 5 tent camping sites and additional tables, fireplaces, and sitting benches for day use. Boat launch and courtesy dock with ADA Access. No long term docking, approximate 20 minute time limit. Drinking water well, toilet, and caretaker/public use cabin are also available.
The campsites within Birch Lake SRS are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Only the Cabin and Ice Huts are reservable online.
- Users should bring their own firewood, especially in winter for use in the cabin, since there is not much left to scavenge in the surrounding forest.
- The road to the lake (ice fishing huts) and the cabin is not plowed in the winter, so a 4-wheel-drive is advisable. It is only a couple hundred feet from the plowed access road to the lake and cabin.
