Lower Troublesome Creek Campground is great for campers looking to get into the water. Being that it's near the banks of the cascading Chulitna River, rafting is the most popular way to explore the area. This glacially-fed (brrr!) river offers awesome views of Susitna Valley and the Alaska Range. Bring your waterproof camera!
