 North Pole 

  photo santa claus home north pole_zpsfyfkutqx.jpg


North Pole has 2,200 residents, the attractions bring locals and tourists alike to sometimes double the people in the city. From Fairbanks Alaska and Delta Airlines have several flights daily to and from Seattle. People enjoy the Santa Clause House, cruising with Santa car show, Santa’s post office (supposedly the most photographed post office sign), the new musical playground, role thru the skate or BMX park, or walk thru the woods and enjoy the exercise trail starting near the city hall. North Pole offers a variety of restaurants like the Pagoda, and several fast food places and diners, there is also a new library.

In December is the annual North Pole Christmas In Ice Contest, which attracts ice sculptors from around the world. The Winter Festival draws crowds with activities and fireworks. During this time of year, it’s not unusual for national TV newscasts to broadcast live from the Santa Claus House. And at the North Pole Post Office (located on South Santa Claus Lane, of course) more than 400,000 pieces of mail arrive annually simply addressed to “Santa Claus, North Pole, Alaska.” Each year, teams of community volunteers work to respond to each letter.

Despite its small size North Pole is Where the Spirit of Christmas Lives Year Round, it’s an ideal place to be based while visiting the Fairbanks area, especially for RVers. Nearby is Chena Lake Recreation Area with 80 campsites along with a swimming beach, paved bike trails and canoe rentals. Chena Lake can be fished for arctic char, grayling and rainbow trout. Within North Pole there are two full-service campgrounds as well as tent sites located in North Pole Park.

Chena River

  photo Chena_River_AK 2_zps749orzh1.jpg

Chena River is a 100-mile (160 km) tributary of the Tanana River in the Interior region of Alaska. It flows generally west from the White Mountains to the Tanana River near the city of Fairbanks, which is built on both sides of the river. The Tanana empties into the 2,300-mile (3,700 km) long Yukon River.

Named tributaries of the Chena River include the North Fork, South Fork, West Fork, Middle (East) Fork and the Little Chena River. The Chena River State Recreation Area surrounds much of the upper half of the main stem. The Chena River is used for recreational fishing and boating. During the winter months, it is also traveled by snow machines and mushers (sled dogs).

The Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project dam is about 40 miles (64 km) up the Chena River from Fairbanks. The dam was built in response to the 1,967 Fairbanks flood, which inundated much of the city. When closed, the dam impounds water and, when the inflow is high enough, diverts it about 8 miles (13 km) to the Tanana River near North Pole, upstream of Fairbanks and the natural mouth of the Chena.

The Chena River supports populations of many fish species, including Arctic grayling, burbot, church salmon, humpback whitefish, king salmon, least cisco, longnose suckers, northern pike, round whitefish, and sheefish. Easily accessible from Fairbanks and North Pole, the Chena is the most popular sport-fishing river in interior Alaska.

Chena Lake Recreation Area


  photo chena lake recreational area next to north pole 2_zps8nwuv3hs.jpg

The Chena Lake Recreation Area is a 2,000-acre park 17 miles southeast of Fairbanks and three miles from North Pole. Spruce, tamarack and birch forest, open land, marshes and sloughs provide a variety of habitats that serve an abundance of wildlife. The area includes a 260-acre lake and four winding miles of the Chena River. Chum and king salmon swim nearly 1,000 miles from the Bering Sea to spawn here in the Chena and in July and August the big fish are easy to observe in the clear waters.

The recreation area borders the Moose Creek Dike, a seven-mile long, 50-foot-high barrier that protects Fairbanks from periodic flooding. The Army Corps of Engineers administers about 20,000 acres of public land east of the dike and adjoining the recreation area, fertile habitat for wildlife. Where the dike meets the river, the Moose Creek Dam offers a panoramic vista of the area, a visitor information kiosk and a fish-viewing overlook with a “salmon watch” program active in July and August. An area day-use fee is collected Memorial Day through Labor Day, but fish viewing from the dam is free.

Developed recreation facilities include the Lake Park campground, picnic areas, playground, bike paths, restrooms, boat launch and a swimming beach at the lake. The River Park campground has a self-guided nature trail and a network of walking/skiing paths for a more nature-oriented experience. A boat ramp provides river access.

Is a great place to see moose or launch a canoe, kayak or raft on the Chena River. The Angel Rocks Trailhead is located in the Chena River State Recreation Area, and an eight-mile hike leads to nearby Chena Hot Springs Resort, and the soothing hotsprings pools.

Chena River State Recreation Area is a park for all seasons. With 397 square miles of forests, rivers, and alpine tundra, the recreation area has something to offer everyone. The variety of activities draws more than 150,000 people to the Chena River State Recreation Area every year.

Campgrounds in the area can accommodate all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts, from tent campers to those with deluxe recreational vehicles. Three developed campgrounds exist in the recreation area: Rosehip Campground at milepost 27 Chena Hot Springs Road, Tors Trail Campground at milepost 39, and Red Squirrel Campground and Picnic Area at milepost 43. More Fairbanks area campground information. Opportunities for camping in undeveloped areas can be found along the many gravel bars and river access roads.

The park follows the Chena River, a clear flowing, class I-II river ideal for kayaking, canoeing, or fishing for abundant arctic grayling. Chena Hot Springs Road parallels the river, providing boaters and anglers many entry and exit points from which to choose. 

In winter months, two major dog sled races use portions of the old Chena Hot Springs Winter Trail. Ski touring and snow machining are also popular. The recreation area contains numerous winter trails, providing opportunities for motorized and nonmotorized recreation.

Wildlife is abundant in the Chena River Recreation Area. Visitors frequently find moose munching in the beaver ponds and sloughs along Chena Hot Springs Road. Black and grizzly bears also inhabit the area, though they are seldom seen. Grizzly bears have been spotted by backcountry hikers in alpine areas and along the river. Black bears are found in areas with abundant vegetation.

Northern Lights in Fairbanks

It’s no surprise that with Fairbanks’ location, it is frequently referred to as the best place to see the northern lights in Alaska, the United States and in many cases, across the globe.

For the best chance on seeing the aurora borealis, visit during the prime viewing season between September and March. 

There are many different ways you can hunt for the aurora. You can drive to a nearby vantage point and wait for them to appear, or take a tour and watch them from a cabin, yurt, dome or lodge, see them on a dog sled adventure or while you are ice fishing, on a snow cat tour, via a trip part way up the Dalton Highway or even on a flight above the Arctic Circle.

Fairbanks 

The Fairbanks area is home to just over 100,000 residents, making this region the second-largest population center in Alaska. The city features a university, an Army Base and an Air Force Base and is known for dog mushing, northern lights and its extremes of light, dark, warmth and cold.

Fairbanks is one of Alaska’s best year-round destinations, and visitors will find plenty to do whether they come for the long, warm summer days or to watch spectacular northern lights displays color the night sky in winter. A wide range of activities are available, including shopping the many art galleries filled with pottery, painting, textiles and Alaska Native art and jewelry, rafting or kayaking the meandering Chena River, golfing, fishing, snowmobiling, enjoying tours and attractions like Pioneer Park that celebrate the town’s gold history, cross-country and Alpine skiing, wildlife viewing, soaking in hot springs, or even enjoying a locally brewed beer.

Fairbanks is home to the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the University of Alaska Museum of the North, where the collections feature both natural history and art items. It’s rightfully considered one of the finest museums in the state.

Fairbanks is also a gateway for trips further into the Interior and the Arctic. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is accessible by small plane, and any trip up the famous Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay – also known as the “Haul Road” – begins in Fairbanks.

Thank you for viewing!
