Don’t you love it when gorgeous land isn’t well-suited for human development? Well, we sure do! Nancy Lake Recreation Area is too wet for cultivation, and it’s not loaded up with valuable minerals. That’s excellent news for nature lovers, because this place is purely for recreation and appreciating the outdoors. Its unique landscape is flat and full of lakes with magnificent, clear waters, surrounded by untouched forest. Canoeing, fishing, hiking, and camping are excellent options for summertime fun, but winter has its own charms. The topography is perfect for activities like cross-country skiing and dog mushing. And, you can find it a mere 90 minutes away from Anchorage.
