Eklutna

The Eklutna River defines the setting of Eklutna — flowing from Eklutna Lake toward Knik Arm, it creates a wooded corridor between the Chugach Mountains and the lowlands north of Anchorage. Eklutna is the traditional homeland of the Dena’ina Athabascan people and remains home to the federally recognized Native Village of Eklutna. At Eklutna Historical Park, the 1870 St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church stands beside a cemetery known for its brightly painted spirit houses, reflecting a local meeting of Dena’ina and Orthodox burial traditions. Eklutna Lake in Chugach State Park brings Alaska’s backcountry close by, while the Glenn Highway connects the community with Anchorage.
