LinkExchange Member About Chickaloon Chickaloon is a historic mining town, built during World War II to supply coal to Navy ships. Today, the town is a quiet beautiful highway stop next to the Matanuska River and between two mountain ranges.
Many tourists enjoy the spectacular scenery and peacefulness.
There is a whitewater rafting company, a horseback trail ride company, the town's general store and a cafe. If you're looking for a getaway from the crowds at Mt. McKinley National Park and the Kenai Peninsula, Chickaloon is a good location.
