    In Alaska there are many beautiful lakes, Jim Lake is one of them. This lake is one of the great places here in the Talkeetna Mountains. Jim Lake gets very little precipitation; during the month of September you get the most rain around here, and the driest of the months is March. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Gold Miners Hotel, and if you want to play some golf, you're in luck because Palmer Golf Course is in close proximity.
Life's
 
   too short to enjoy all the fun stuff close to Jim Lake. In case you don’t mind getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Wolverine Creek. Camping is available at Pinnacle Mountain Recreation, naturally you could also check out Gull Lake if you're here; it's not far at all. So much entertaining stuff to do in the Talkeetna Mountains, not sufficient time. The snow is great at Alyeska; if you came for an overnight stay Kroa Kamping Resorts-alaska is a  
               pleasant location to camp.
Through the warm days of summer highs here at Jim Lake reach the 60's, and the nighttime is quite cooler of course, mostly in the 40's.

McRoberts Creek flows through this region; Moose Creek has a great whitewater paddling spot close by.
