What it is like
Lower Troublesome Creek Campground near Talkeetna is a wooded creekside camp on the Chulitna, and it is the trailhead for the Kesugi Ridge high country. The 20 sites are first-come, open May to September, with water, vault toilets, a trailhead and fishing. A fee applies at this camp.
The campground is about 21 miles from Talkeetna. Moose Flats Loop Trail, 1.5 miles away, is a short, fully accessible interpretive loop around two ponds at Kesugi Ken Campground, with a clear-day view of Denali. Denali South Viewpoint, 1.7 miles off the Parks Highway, has interpretive signs and a full-mountain view of Denali. For a longer climb, the Upper Troublesome Creek Trail is the southernmost, longest way onto Kesugi Ridge.
