JessieLang Says: Big Delta State Historic Park is at the site of Rika’s Roadhouse. There were roadhouses every 15-20 miles—a day’s travel—along the Fairbanks Trail (now the Richardson Highway) where travelers could get a meal and a bed. (Rika's Roadhouse is still operating, and you can still...
Caribou and other wildlife near Donnelly Dome
liusia Says: Depending on the season, you can commonly see a variety of critters near (and, sometimes, on) the Richardson Highway. I have seen caribou, bald eagles, moose, ermine and black bear. The bison's range is also near here. An ordinary drive can easily turn into an Alaskan...
Clearwater Lodge: All-around pleasant place
liusia Says: If you are passing through Delta Junction in the evening, it is worth getting off the highway to find the Clearwater. Much better food than the usual bar selection, and a pleasant, not-at-all seedy atmosphere. Plus, the surroundings are beautiful.

Address: On the main road.
JKSmithPE Says: Let's assume you were sane before coming here. The warning signs of going bushy: 1) Hygeine becomes optional 2) Alcohol is a food group 3) You spend more than 1 hour per day looking at a calendar and planning a trip 4) Your wardrobe is 100% Carhart 5) A visit Fairbanks is a...
JKSmithPE Says: At 40 below you need to think ahead.-Don't travel alone - take along a buddy that can help dig you out of a snow drift.-Leave with a full tank of fuel
JKSmithPE Says: On Nov. 3, 2002 a magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit the Alaska interior. We felt the quake here in the Delta Junction area - no real damage to speak of, but remember that this is earthquake country (posting this on 12/14/02 after another mild 4.3 quake) Attached graphic shows the...
JKSmithPE Says: Don't go hiking or driving around on the military property - watch for the big red flags. If you go past a red flag you might get hit by shells or bombs
JKSmithPE Says: Don't forget some good sunglasses! The sun stays at a low angle for many month (when it come up at all)
JKSmithPE Says: Take a slow friend - that way the bears will catch them while you run away Arctic gear for the winter months, pack a hat for the summer Bug Spray is a must in the summer. Food and water - keep in mind there are lots of opportunities to get stuck or stranded. Take plenty...

Take a drive or a hike and find some Moose - don't get too close, the cows will attack you to protect the calves.

deltahome Says: Quartz Lake is only 10 miles north of Delta Jct. and has been great fishing this year. It is a great place to take family or friends to have a good time. The fishing was great silver salmon, actic char, and rainbow trout. It was the best with all this new sun light. Just...
JKSmithPE Says: Good fishing year round - rainbow trout, arctic char and landlocked salmon. Gear up in Fairbanks or visit the Granite View store in Delta - and don't forget to buy a fishing license

Favorite thing: Drive 11 miles North of town on the Richardson Hwy, turn left at Quartz Lake - Hike the main trail - 3 three miles to a hill top and a nice veiw - These are real people - not actors from "Deliverance" - the third guy in line is kinda scary. You can almost hear the hills going "twang twang twang" when this bunch of rednecks tromped through.
