Black Rapids

Black Rapids is located 38 miles south of Delta Junction. Set amid the untamed wilderness of the Alaska Range, this area features rugged, snow-capped mountains, rivers and creeks. This remote, stunningly scenic corner of the Alaskan interior has an impressive range of hiking trails. Short walks above the tree line offer panoramic views of mountain valleys and the Delta River, while Alpine treks include explorations of glacier caves. Angling enthusiasts can enjoy the many fishing spots brimming with trout, northern pike and Arctic char. Canoeing and kayaking are available on Black Rapids Lake.

There’s abundant wildlife to look out for, including Dall sheep, moose and caribou, bears and lynx. A wide variety of winter activities include dog-sledding to frozen waterfalls, snowshoeing through backcountry terrain and flightseeing. Visitors may go ice skating on lakes nearby. Some very lucky tourists may witness the elusive Northern Lights, Mother Nature’s light show, where bright colors dance across the sky.
