Surrounded by rugged peaks, Lake Louise State Recreation Area immerses you in the natural beauty of Alaska's Copper Valley. The park is a year-round outdoor playground, with 90 acres of scenic paddling routes and picturesque waterscapes to discover. In summer, locals flock to relax on the beach, paddle around the lake, and fish for trout. In the winter, Lake Louise State Recreation Area transforms into a snow-dusted playground with cross-country skiing, skating, ice fishing, hunting, and snowmobiling. Winter is also one of the best times to view the elusive Aurora Borealis.
