RV rental Lake Louise State Recreation Area, AK: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Lake Louise State Recreation Area has been soothing souls since 1945, with the park first established as an R&R retreat for U.S. Army recruits building the Glenn Highway. It was later designated as a state recreation area and is now a popular weekend getaway destination for Anchorage locals, as well as long-distance road trippers. Spend the day unwinding on the beach or launch a kayak and enjoy a scenic paddle. Venture further afield and you can explore hidden coves and beaches, as well as adjoining lakes. If you don't have a boat, the nearby Lake Louise Lodge can help with rentals. If you love the idea of living off the land, Lake Louise is a rewarding destination. Summer and fall see the area explode in a sea of wild strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries. Down by the lake, anglers will jump at the chance to reel in trout and Arctic grayling throughout the year. Some lake trout can even top 20 pounds – perfect for a fish fry back at your RV rental. Things don't slow down in the winter, when Lake Louise State Recreation Area lures flocks of snow sports enthusiasts. Lake Louise is a hotspot for wildlife watchers, with the chance to spot moose, bear, lynx, fox, and cormorants. Visit in the fall and you could spot glimpses of the migrating Nelchina caribou herd. Thanks to almost zero light pollution, it's not unusual to see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky when RV camping at Lake Louise State Park. Mid-winter is prime viewing season, though if you're lucky, you could also spot the natural phenomenon during the summer months.
