Kennecott is a historic mining town tucked away in a corner of the great Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Built to claim a truly huge and rich copper deposit in some of the wildest terrain of Alaska, much of this mining town remains in place.
Alaska’s Copper River has been navigated for trade and used for subsistence proposes since before the advent of recorded history. The river currently provides a rich Sockeye Salmon resource for commercial, personal use and subsistence fishermen. It is popular with paddle sports enthusiasts, offering many kayak and rafting adventures.
Consider a trip to the McCarthy – Kennecott region for your next Alaskan vacation. Choosing Currant Ridge Cabins to provide your accommodations will only enhance what will be an amazing experience in the wilderness of Alaska.
