Chugach State Park
It’s not much of a stretch to say that at over 495,000 acres, Churgach State Park is a seriously epic spot on the Alaskan coastline. As one of the largest state parks in the entirety of the USA, Churgach offers a huge diversity of landscapes—you’ll find everything from enormous glaciers and icebergs all the way to rolling hills and forests. Hike along wilderness trails and experience the lush flora and fauna, or take a boat trip amongst the icy glaciers that Alaska is so famous for. Did we mention the entrance to Churgach is just minutes from Anchorage? Churgach is a super convenient spot to do some Alaskan adventurin’ and get a glimpse of the incredible beauty up north.

Activities in the park
3 campgrounds in Chugach State Park
Eklutna Lake Campground will, of course, give you access to Eklutna Lake. That’s a given. This decent-sized spot has even more to offer off the water, however. The surrounding terrain is crazy popular for hiking, horseback riding, wildlife watching, and even ATVs. It’s quite a luxury you’ll find here, having a lake you can give or take!
Sure enough, the river itself is the centerpiece of Eagle River Campground. It’s beautiful, it’s well-stocked with fish, and it’s right there for you to enjoy. Otherwise, there’s plenty of hiking and sightseeing to do. The sites themselves may be basic, but they’re roomy and well-maintained. Rest and relaxation on the riverside is here for you!
Even if you’re not a bird geek, you’ll find plenty to love at Bird Creek. Bird Creek Campground offers basic accommodations in a wilderness setting featuring beautiful hiking and fishing. Not enough? Breathtaking sunsets and whale watching should tip the scales. You should be so lucky to find yourself up this creek!
