The Alaska Department of Transportation maintains an eight site, free campground with picnic tables, grills, and pit toilets. High winds and blowing dust are prevalent in the area throughout the summer. A pullout with a view of the Chugach Mountains and the Chitina River is located on the right side of the road. A small pullout on the left side of the road provides access to a hiking trail to Strelna Lake, half a mile away. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game stocks this lake with rainbow trout and silver salmon.
Private property adjoins the trail, and users are asked to respect the rights of the owners.
The road on the right leads to the Silver Lake Campground. This commerical campground provides camping and limited services including tire repair. Silver Lake is stocked with rainbow trout by the state of Alaska. The access road on the left heads north for 2.5 miles to backcountry trailheads for the Dixie Pass Trail, Kotsina Trail and Nugget Creek Trail. Please respect the rights of the land owners by staying on the road.
