Whether you are a boat owner looking to light out or just enjoy relaxing outdoors by the water, you will find the natural solace of the Fortymile National Wild and Scenic River simply irresistible. This is an extensive network of creeks and rivers in east-central Alaska. Interestingly, 392 miles of the river have been given a National Wild and Scenic Recreational River designation. Boaters have many choices and routes available for recreational trips that, despite being different routes, all offer a chance to enjoy the area's breathtaking scenery.
The Beaver Slough Nature Trail offers a fairly easy and inviting self-guided nature trail that winds along Beaver Slough. This recreation trail is notable for the fact that it runs in amazingly close proximity to the North Pole.
