Take the George Parks Hwy. to milepost 137.2 of the Parks Hwy., past the town of Trapper Creek.
For some reason AK DOT HAS DECIDED NOT TO PLOW the parking area/ pullout for this trailhead. This has always been a popular and convienient spot to pull over and use the rest stop facilities but thats not an option during the snow months
A great rest stop for the drive between Fairnanks and Anchorage. Restrooms available during the summer months. An easy scenic trail to the Chulitna River with giant ferns and huge trees. Troublesome Creek just off the parking lot is a great place to let t by e pets stretch and get a drink. Overall, a superb spot to stop and rest for a few minutes.
It's actually really quiet when things get later into the night past 8 or so. The bridge screams quiet down and the stream you're the campground is absolutely lovely. Honestly he was the most amazing place to be because that's where my fiance proposed to me.
Slightly mushy due to rains. Great Fall colors beginning of september
I've been visiting Troublesome Creek for years with the kids....great Fiddle Head picking too.
