Willow
The first exciting views of Denali
are on the way to Willow, as the
mountain looms over the drive north
on the Parks Highway
(Hwy. 3). On clear days, the mountain
offers plenty of photographic
opportunities to motorists starting in
this small town of 2,278 people.
Willow offers plenty of outdoor
recreational opportunities to visitors
looking to break up the drive
north to Denali. There are several
campgrounds - both private and
state-run - as well as fantastic fishing
opportunities. Willow Creek receives
a big run of salmon each summer,
starting in mid-May and continuing
through late August. Guides can get
you on the fish, but Willow Creek is
also very accessible for do-it-yourself
anglers looking to wet a line. The
creek crosses the Parks Highway, but
for the best fishing, head to Willow
Creek State Recreation Area, off
Willow Parkway Road. A large public
campground gives anglers access to
the confluence of Willow Creek and
the Susitna River. Watch for bears!
Dog mushing is an integral part of the
Willow community, as many Iditarod
mushers call the area home. Several
mushers off Iditarod tours, even in the
summer months, when you can visit
their kennels and even take a cart ride
pulled by a team of eager huskies.
