Best State Park in Alaska
Denali State Park is often considered the best in Alaska, offering breathtaking views of North America’s highest peak, Denali (formerly Mt. McKinley). Key features include:
- Over 325,000 acres of pristine wilderness
- Stunning views of the Alaska Range
- Excellent hiking trails, including the challenging Kesugi Ridge Trail
- Opportunities for wildlife viewing, including moose, bears, and wolves
- Byers Lake for fishing and canoeing
- K’esugi Ken Campground with modern facilities
While smaller than its national park neighbor, Denali State Park provides a more accessible and less crowded experience of Alaska’s magnificent landscape.
