Most people exploring Alaska start their adventure in Anchorage. This city is home to many natural wonders – including several serine lakes where you can go to relax and unwind.
Mirror Lake
If you’re in the mood for a short trip outside of the city, Mirror Lake should be on top of your bucket list. It also doesn’t hurt its case that it’s located only a couple of minutes away from Thunder Bird Falls.
Eklutna Lake
Eklutna Lake takes about an hour to reach by car, but it’s definitely worth it. It’s a popular spot with kayakers and hikers, but you can also just go there to unwind and enjoy nature.
Jewel Lake
If you want to enjoy some family activities without going too far, Jewel Lake is your best option. In addition to offering a beach and separate fishing and swimming areas, you can also play softball, volleyball, or just have a picnic inside the Jewel Lake Park.
