Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Byers Lake is a family-friendly campground located along Byers Lake, near the bottom of Kesugi Ridge, offering stunning views of the 20,310-foot Denali Mountain, also known as Mount McKinley. The lake is a prime spot for rainbow trout and burbot fishing by canoe and kayak, though visitors should note that the lake is closed to gasoline-powered boats to preserve its natural ecosystem. Canoe and kayak rentals are available from nearby Denali Southside River Guides, and firewood sales are offered seasonally. 73 campsites are available, offering tent and RV hookups, and three public use cabins may be rented for more private overnight accommodations. Modern toilets, dump sites, and picnic sites are provided for overnight visitors.
