Not designed for the mobility impaired

I don't think Alaska complies with ADA laws at their parks, I am disabled and have difficulty walking, I have only found one place so far in the Palmer/Wasilla area that I can actually get to the water to fish.

East Paddling and Loons Galore

This is the perfect place for novice paddlers to get a taste of the Alaska lake country. There are loons on most of the lakes and you can easily paddle to within 20 feet of them to take photos. The cabins are great - simple,...More

Canoe trail is fantastic!

We paddled the canoe trail and stayed in one of the state park cabins. The cabins are clean and spacious, and the scenery is Alaska at it's finest.

February Family Trip

We went out to Cabin #3 in February of 2015 – we had a wonderful experience! That fireplace can roar! We were actually too hot! But, loved it. Here is my blog post about the trip with plenty of photos. http://gneissweiss.blogspot.com/2015/02/nancy-lake-cabin.html
