Nancy Lake Recreation Area is a fairly flat, lake-studded area just 90 minutes from Anchorage that offers a remote setting of multiple lakes for paddlers to enjoy. This canoe trail covers over 8 miles, hitting over 14 lakes along the way. There are multiple portages required but well-marked paths show the way and boardwalks cover much of the wet terrain making for easier portages. The trip can be done as a long day trip or as an overnight trip by utilizing public-use cabins and campsites located along the trail.
