Denali Hwy

Hwy 8

This road connects Paxson to Cantwell, the Richardson Hwy to the Parks Hwy. The 136-mile gravel road is closed in winter. The rough road leads to dozens of primitive campsites in the Tangle Lakes, famous for its canoe trail.

There is excellent fishing in the area, which is also popular with fishermen, hunters and mountain bikers. There are 400 sites in the Tangle Lakes Archeological District that contain evidence of 10,000 years of hunter/gatherers.

The Bureau of Land Management - Alaska administers the region. For information on their lands and waterways, contact Bureau of Land Management - Alaska, P O Box 147, Glennallen AK. Phone 907-822-3217.
