'LoonStruck' is a micro traditional cache that was hidden by 'the PAC' after a day of caching in the area!
Come visit the Matanuska Lakes State Recreation Area and find this cache along with some others in the nearby Crevasse Moraine Trail System!
'LoonStruck' is hidden in the Matanuska Lakes State Recreation Area. Formerly known as the Kepler-Bradley, the Matanuska Lakes State Recreation Area is a popular fishing, hiking, biking and caching park.
This popular state park comprises several trout and grayling filled stocked lakes by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, including Matanuska, Canoe, Irene and Long Lakes. Matanuska Lakes State Park is within easy driving distance of Anchorage located just north of the Glenn Highway at milepost 36.4, west of Palmer.. The lakes are located in depressions (old glacial crevasses) in between moraine ridges (eskers) formed by glaciers 30,000 years ago. Trails from the park connect to the Mat-Su Borough Crevasse Moraine Trail System, The University of Alaska – Fairbanks Farm, and the University of Alaska – Anchorage College campus.
Fishing, camping, hiking, biking and horseback riding use are the dominant activities. The area is open year round, but access into the parking lot is only available during the summer months.
There is a daily parking fee of $5. However, your annual Alaska State Parks day use parking pass works here!
Approximately 6 parking spaces are available in the winter, outside the gated entrance to Matanuska Lake.

Enjoy this cache and the others in the area while taking in the views of the nearby mountains and who knows what Alaska wildlife you will see along the trails!!!!
