Denali Park, AK – The Superintendent of Denali National Park and Preserve has determined that there is adequate snow cover for the use of snowmobiles for traditional activities in all areas of the 1980 park additions. This includes the 1980 park additions from the Southwest Preserve to Windy Creek and from the Northwest Preserve to Stampede Corridor.
Riders are reminded that all lands within the former Mount McKinley National Park on both the north and the south sides of the Alaska Range are closed to all snowmobile use by federal regulation. Overall, riding conditions are variable. The rider is responsible for avoiding locations where damage to vegetation or soils could occur, or where vegetation is taller than the protective snow cover.
Visit the park’s snow machine page for further updates.
