Introducing Chena Hot Springs Road
This fireweed-lined, forest-flanked corridor parallels the languid Chena River 56 miles east off the Steese Hwy to the Chena Hot Springs Resort, the closest to Fairbanks and also the most developed. The road is paved and in good condition. From Mile 26 to Mile 51 it passes through Chena River State Recreation Area, a 397-sq-mile preserve encompassing the river valley and nearby alpine areas and has some of the Fairbanks area's best hiking, canoeing and fishing.
