Do stop by Rush Lake while you're in this part of Alaska. You clearly have to like Rush Lake. While you're here at Rush Lake it's a brilliant idea to stop by Boulder Creek Flats, and tremendous hiking is available along the Chickaloon River Trail. Rush Lake is pretty dehydrated generally; through the month of July you get the most rain around here, and April is the month with the least moisture. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody

| | but if it's for you then we recommend Coal Creek, and naturally Black Shale Creek is a wonderful stream that is worth taking a look at. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Talkeetna Mountains. There's whitewater on Chickaloon River for all you adrenaline kick people; do take a look at Upper Bonnie Lake, it's a beautiful lake. Rush Lake is located in the Talkeetna Mountains. Ravine Lake is a nearby lake that you could explore, and don't leave Rush Lake without | |
