Rafting or ice-skating, recreation on the water is always available
Located so close to the Matanuska River and Chugach State Park, your access to the outdoors is nearly limitless here. You're just minutes from whitewater rafting, fishing, hunting and hiking, making this a nature lover's paradise. The community is also close to several lakes, most notably Finger Lake. At the Finger Lake State Recreation Site, you can launch your boat onto the water, camp out, picnic or swim. Finger Lake is a go-to for summertime fun and a great spot to get outdoors during the winter. Lace up your skates and go ice-skating once the lake is fully frozen or bring a chair and pop-up tent to ice fish for arctic char or rainbow trout.

Gateway remains connected to the wider Anchorage region
While this community has a secluded, rural feel, you're close to daily necessities or larger cities. The area is right at the intersection of Glenn Highway and East Parks Highway, making it easy to travel west to the commercial amenities of Wasilla or east to the dining and retail of Palmer. Mat-Su Regional Medical Center is also conveniently located along this intersection. Most residents here commute to Anchorage for work at major employers like Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson or the University of Alaska-Anchorage. With the convenience of the Glenn Highway, you're just 30 miles away from the city, so it's a terrific home-buying location for commuters. With your access to Anchorage, you can attend concerts, hockey games and other events or easily get to the Anchorage International Airport.
