Overview

About

Oftentimes, getting where you wanna go in Alaska involves boating in or taking flight. But, not at Quartz Lake State Rec Area! This hotspot is home to some of the best road-accessible fishing in all of interior Alaska. That’s a good thing, too, because fishing is one of the biggest draws out here. But, that’s hardly all there is to do. Hike to Bluff Point and soak in the views, go for a swim, grab some binoculars and see what wildlife you can catch a glimpse of…really, the outdoor fun is essentially limitless. In the winter, ice fishing, dog mushing, and rustic cabin stays keep the fun going. You’re going to want to stay for a while, so make yourself at home in one of the campsites and get that bonfire goin’. It can get chilly out here, after all!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Quartz Lake State Recreation Area is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the days are long. Winter can be harsh and challenging, making access difficult and limiting activities. Plan your trip during the peak season to fully enjoy all that Quartz Lake has to offer.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of wildlife in the area; store food securely and maintain a safe distance from animals.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and leave no trace to preserve the park's natural beauty.
  • Accessibility may vary across different parts of the park; inquire ahead for specific needs.
  • Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to bring essential supplies.
