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. Here the road crosses Strelna Creek. It is possible to fish for grayling during their seasonal migrations. The historic railroad bridge was completed in 1910 and upgraded in 1988.
