Moose Pass, AK

The Kenai Peninsula south of Anchorage is truly "Alaska's Playground". There are many wonderful towns to explore and miles of river and trails to see the natural beauty of Alaska.

The small, picturesque town of Moose Pass is located 30 miles north of Seward, surrounded by the Chugach National Forest, and the serene waters of Upper Trail Lake.

Recreation opportunities abound in the area - everything from fishing for Dolly Varden,Rainbow Trout and Grayling in Upper Trail Lake, to canoe or kayaking on lakes in the area, hiking/backpacking on the multitude of trails in the forest, bird and wildlife watching, photography, berry picking, and much more. There are places to camp, cabins to rent, Bed & Breakfasts, and the beautiful Trail Lake Lodge that offers 22 rooms with private bath and satellite tv. They also have a full service restaurant and bar.

There is a large variety of wildlife in the area, especially Moose which prompted the naming of this quiet little town.

The Alaska Railroad often stops at Moose Pass and you can buy a ticket or flag the train down for an unforgettable ride to view scenery that is not visible from the highway.

If you are wanting to experience the real Alaska - enjoy peace and quite along the shores of a clear lake, or hike for days without seeing another human being, be sure and stop in the wonderful town of Moose Pass for a day, a week or longer! You will be glad you did!
