This is a wonderful region for people who like lakes. Pipeline Lake is a lake in the vicinity, and Wrangell - St Elias National Park & Preserve is a good national park. So many exciting things to do in the Chugach Mountains, not enough time. Lakes are perfect; Middle Lake is a lake that's near McKinley Lake, and going for a hike on the Sheridan Mountain Trail is always a nice adventure. This lake is so wonderful. Glacier River is a fine whitewater spot
 
               right next door to McKinley Lake, and obviously Salmon Creek flows through this area.
You clearly have to love McKinley Lake. All the water falling down from the sky makes McKinley Lake a wet site; most of the rain falls all through September, and the driest of the months is July.
