Summit Lake State Recreation Site

Summit Lake State Recreation Site, located at mile 196 on Hatcher Pass Road in Palmer, Alaska, offers a stunning natural setting characterized by a small cirque lake surrounded by glacially carved terrain. The area is popular for summer activities such as hiking, paragliding, and berry picking, with the April Bowl Trail providing access to a smaller alpine lake and the opportunity to summit Hatch Peak.

During the winter months, Summit Lake serves as a gateway for skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers exploring the west side of the Hatcher Pass Management Area. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas and the unique experience of watching paragliders soar above the peaks on summer weekends.
