Wrangell St. Elias Nat’l Park RV Parks & Campgrounds

Walk in public fishing access to Silver Lake and Van Lake; you’ll find wonderful scenery and good rainbow trout fishing in both lakes.

This is a trail with access to Copper Lake. Copper Lake has opportunities for Lake Trout, Grayling, and Burbot fishing. The first 2.5 miles are suitable for hiking, then the trail crossses Tanada Creek, which can be high and fast, and trail conditions deteriorate.                                    

This is now called the Kendesnii Campground. This is now a developed campground with 10 sites, with picnic tables, fire rings, trails, and restrooms. Kendesnii Campground is a great place to fish and view wildlife.  A hie of about a half mile to the south and over the ridge will take you to Jack Lake and more beautiful views of the Wrangell Mountains.                               

This is a great site to take a break for some wildlife viewing or bird watching.  There are views of wetlands, a small lake, and boreal forest.  Moose are often seen here and caribou migrate through this area in the spring and fall.  During spring and summer, look for nesting ducks and trumpeter swans.
