Beautiful day on water! Finger lake is great for the whole family. Camping, fishing, wading, bird watching or simply enjoying nature.
I've been camping in Alaska for over 20 years and I am amazed that I have never been to Finger Lakes State Rec Area. It is such an awesome little gem of a campground right in between Palmer and Wasilla. It's beautiful, clean, spacious, and quiet. And there is a boat launch for the lake, which allows motorized boats. You can fish on the lake or off one of the two docks. Fishing is supposed to be decent, but my friend and I had zero luck catching anything. The reason I gave 4/5 was the price of the campsites are really expensive per night ($25/$35 per night for tent/premium camping). I think the high cost becomes a bit prohibitive for the average camper and there are more cost friendly options along the Wasilla/Palmer Highway.
Awesome campground nestled between Palmer and Wasilla. Nice find close to town
Took the family and made a wonderful day of memories. We kayak the 7 mile treck starting from Finger lake to Cottonwood lake to Mud lake and finally ended in Wasilla lake.
Oh, yeah, baby birds are born on this Lake. On the shallow end, they are awesome to watch the mating and everything about I. Don't how many birds have watched and seen different ones? And every single year, there's something different of birds that's out there.
It's really pretty. Actually, just recently a baby gold Eagle. I think it was hit the roof on the top of the house and it sounded like an explosion and it landed in the yard for a couple hours. I got great pictures of it, and the mangpi would not leave its feet alone before little thing.
