    Hiking

    I think this might be the largest campground in Denali State Park. It's no secret that you can pick lots of berries here in the fall, and it's just a quick walk from the nearby lake.

    However, it's also no secret that the marshy ground in this area makes the campground and neighboring lake VERY buggy (think hordes of mosquitoes) in the summer. Bear sightings are also extremely common here in almost every season, because they like berries — and Byers Lake — too.
