The Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge is 45 square miles of wetlands, forest, lakes, and tidal sloughs located 30 minutes north of Anchorage. Many different animals, including ducks, geese, sandhill cranes, moose, muskrats, salmon, and many others call it home. Many Alaskans from all walks of life and recreational preferences make the Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge one of the most important and cherished recreation areas in Alaska.

We are honored to announce an exciting project! This effort will develop a site plan for a Dena’ina and Ahtna Cultural Interpretive Trail on the Scout Ridge Loop.
