    Eklutna Lake is a special place and worth about a 20 minute (one way) detour off the main highway…read morebetween Anchorage and Denali. The drive itself is very scenic and once you arrive at the lake area, there's an obvious day use area where you can park and use the pay machines for day use fees. I didn't do much of the trail, as I was heading north to Denali but did spend about 45 minutes or so walking the rocky shoreline and taking in the amazing views. There are a number of trails to explore here as well as kayaking and guided hikes. It's a glacier fed lake and also serves as a water supply for Anchorage. Alaska has no shortage of wonders and it's pretty special that you can drive a short distance from its largest city and arrive to a place like Eklutna Lake. Carry bear spray-sightings are common though we didn't see any.

    We didn't hike the full trail, just went about a mile up and back along the lake from the parking…read morelot, but even that short stretch was worth it for the views. There were plenty of spots along the old dirt road where you could step closer to the water and really take in the scenery. There were mosquitoes, but we came prepared with bug spray, so it wasn't too bad. Looking back, we probably would've enjoyed kayaking more. The lake was calm and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Even just sitting by the water felt peaceful. If we go back, we're skipping the hike and getting out on the lake.

    What a great experience. our family needed to get a large group down Big Lake to Flat Lake. We were…read morenot sure how to get it done. We discovered Big Lake Boat rental, problem solved. We rented "Tiffany" a 22' pontoon boat. The boat preformed as advertised and we enjoyed the laid back service. No pressure, fun trip! Thanks

    Whoever is running this business is running an absolute joke. My boyfriend and I go to rent a jet…read moreski from them, online says one price, we rent it. We get to the establishment at our allotted time and they tell us we need to put $1000 down for a security deposit. This was never mentioned on the website or when I called them. We figured it out got it all handled, get on the equipment don't even have a full tank of gas, had to return it early due to the gas going down abnormally fast on this piece of equipment, and didn't feel like spending $80 gassing it up at birkshore. The workers at this establishment are extremely unhelpful and rude, there were an abundance of hidden fees that were never mentioned before we paid or whilst I talked to an employee. Spent a good chunk of money for some fun on the lake and was extremely disappointed, and the lady at the front had no clue when my boyfriend's deposit would be back in his account, and just kept saying "I don't know" I will never suggest this establishment and will tell people to not go here, nor will I go here ever again based on this tremendously horrible experience with these people and their establishment. DO NOT RENT FROM HERE!
