Fielding Lake State Recreation Site is a pristine alpine campground located in the Alaska Range at mile 200.5 of the Richardson Highway. Situated at 2,973 feet elevation, this 605-acre park offers 17 rustic campsites showcasing the simple beauty of Northern Alaska's mountainous terrain.
The campground appeals to outdoor enthusiasts seeking authentic wilderness. Anglers are drawn to the lake's naturally occurring fish populations, including Arctic Grayling, lake trout, and burbot. The site features a boat launch, enabling visitors to access the pristine waters and enjoy lake-based recreation.
Hikers appreciate the network of trails winding through the alpine setting with breathtaking mountain views. Picnic areas and grills provide convenient gathering spaces, while ADA-accessible facilities and toilets ensure comfortable accommodations for all visitors. A public-use cabin is available for reservation.
The high-altitude environment creates unique seasonal characteristics—ice sometimes remains on the lake until July—adding to the park's remote, pristine appeal. Located between Fairbanks and Valdez on the Richardson Highway, Fielding Lake State Recreation Site delivers an authentic Northern Alaska mountain experience with excellent fishing, hiking, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Camping is limited to 15 consecutive days.
