Nancy Lake Recreation Area is a fairly flat, lake-studded area located just 90 minutes from Anchorage that offers a remote setting and multiple lakes for paddlers to enjoy. Nancy Lake is a large lake that offers miles of wooded shoreline for exploration. The lake is surrounded by both undeveloped forest as well as some residential development. This paddling trip starts from a state recreation area launch located off of Parks Highway that offers good access to the northern section of the lake.
