Some great hiking trails - just beautiful
While staying at the Denali Backcountry Lodge we did a number of hikes up next to the lake and they were all just wonderful. It is worth seeing. If you are interested in seeing some video of the area, go to YouTube and type in "Tour of Denali Back Country Lodge, tour Denali National Park, and flight out around Denali Mountain" and it will bring up my video on Pat's Adventures of it and other things in Denali.

Go To Wonderlake and Get Away From the Park Entrance.
If you love to camp this is the place for you. There are about 30 tent sites with views of Mt. McKinley and Wonder Lake. It is one of the most beautiful places in the park. It is very quiet with hardly any motorized vehicles. You may also be treated to bears, moose, caribou, wolfs, beavers and other animals near the campsight. There is running water and flush toliets available too. You need take the park camperbus to get there but the trip in is great and the camper buses are usually fairly empty so you can easily look out on both sides of the bus.Take the early morning bus for best chance at great campsites. I would highly recommend a trip to Wonder Lake but stay more than one night if you want a good chance of seeing the mountain.
