Travel South on the Richardson Highway (SR-4). About 7 miles before you arrive in Valdez, you will see a major intersection with a flashing yellow light. Turn right onto Airport Road and travel 3 miles to the campground.
Went there March 12. Super windy and it there was fresh snow. Tried walking on the packed trail but some spots you will be knee deep in snow. There’s some people that go to the glacier in snowmobiles. If you go during winter, the lake will be frozen so you can walk to see the glaciers. No parking fee and there’s room for lots of cars.
Went in early January and was able to walk out on the lake to explore the icebergs and get as far as the Glacier. Saw a few snow machines out on the ice and snow. Lots of water on the ice as well. Definitely recommend having a couple friends should you decide to walk on the ice or climb the icebergs.
We did a 3 hour kayaking tour with Anadyr Adventures on the lake. It was absolutely spectacular. One of the best tours I took this year. We got to kayak through the ice and go up close to the ice bergs, I recommend to wrap up warm, but it was definitely worth it.
