Salcha River State Recreation Site
Less than 40 miles southeast of Fairbanks along the Richardson Highway is the Salcha River State Recreation Site, a popular weekend getaway for residents of both Fairbanks and Delta Junction. In the summer, the 61-acre recreation site provides anglers access to the Salcha River, which is fished for king and chum salmon as well as Arctic grayling, sheefish and northern pike. Winter activities include snowmobiling up or down the river (when frozen) and cross-country skiing.
