About

Crystal Lake is a medium sized lake along the road to McCarthy and Kennicott Glacier. It sits on the southern side of Crystalline Hills.

Getting To Crystal Lake

To get to Crystal Lake you may be able to charter a float plane but we can confirm where you'd need to start from.

Driving you if starting from Anchorage you will need to take the Glenn Highway to Glennallen and then south on Richardson Highway. From Fairbanks head south on the Richardson Highway. About 30 miles after Glennallen, after to reach Pippin Lake, turn left on to AK-10/Edgerton Hwy. Stay on the for 33 miles until you reach Chitna. The road will make a sharp left turn at the restaurant. Stay on it as it turns into McCarthy Rd, and proceed through the cutout and down the dirt road. It's about 30-40 miles down the road, just after "TJ's Rock and Roll Camping".
