Johnson Lake Campground Under Construction This Fall

Alaska State Parks announces that Johnson Lake State Recreation Area campground will undergo a thorough rehabilitation this fall and half of the campground will be closed to the public from August 15 – September 30, 2009. The east loop of the Johnson Lake SRA campground will be closed during this time to renovate and improve the existing campsites. Improvements include leveling campsites, replacing picnic tables, improving the campground host site, and replacing signs. The west loop of the Johnson Lake SRA campground will remain open for camping.

This project is part of the State of Alaska's effort to address the backlog of deferred maintenance needs in Alaska's state parks. The Johnson Lake SRA campground is located 12 miles south of Soldotna off of the Sterling Highway in Kasilof.
