Lifetime Adventures Bike Tours & Rentals at Eklutna Lake

Hop on a full-suspension mountain bike and pedal your way around the gorgeous Eklutna Lake with experienced tour company Lifetime Adventures. Rent a bike and set off your own, or take the guided bike tour and gain insights along the way!

Either way, you’ll be exploring the Eklutna Lake area. It’s just 45 minutes from Anchorage but feels like a world away—there’s not even cell service—thanks to towering trees and even taller snow-capped peaks.

You don’t have to stop with biking! Lifetime Adventures also offers options for kayaking and hiking, and you can combine all 3 activities into a truly unforgettable Alaskan day.

Adventures

Bike Rentals

Set off on your own and hit the trails with a full-suspension mountain bike for 2, 4, or 8 hours with helmet included. (Overnight rentals are available if you’re staying in a public use cabin.) Traveling with kids? Great! Add a double chariot to pull small children or a tagalong for younger children, or rent one of the kids’ bikes.

Guided Bike Trip

Want someone to show you around the area’s best bike trails, sharing details of the natural wonders along the way? Take this moderate, 4.5-hour guided bike trip, where you’ll pedal 16–22 miles (depending on the group) as you set out for the end of the lake and enjoy a picnic lunch amid gorgeous scenery.

Paddle and Pedal

On this unguided tour, you’ll set off in a kayak and paddle around 8 miles to the end of the lake, taking in the gorgeous scenery around you. Once you reach your destination, you’ll find full-suspension mountain bikes awaiting you for the 9-mile ride back along some of the area’s great trails.

Bold Ridge Kayak Hike & Bike

Combine the area’s most popular sports into a full day of adventure. Start by paddling your kayak out across shimmering Eklutna Lake for about 5 miles. Pull into shore and take a 7-mile hike along the Bold Ridge Trail, which affords a stunning view of the entire Eklutna Valley, including the lake and glacier, and enjoy a packed lunch. (Hint: Keep an eye out for mountain goats.) Then hop on a full-suspension mountain bike for the fun, 5-mile ride back.

Half-Day Guided Combo Tour

Don’t have a full day? Take 4 hours and pick 2 of the area’s 3 popular sports to experience: hiking, biking, and kayaking. You’ll enjoy the two activities with a professional guide and a packed lunch along the way.

Overnight Kayak/Camp/Bike

Make the adventure last longer—spend the night camping in the Alaskan backcountry. You’ll start with a fantastic kayak trip across the lake, then set up camp with your professional guides and enjoy a salmon dinner. The next morning you’ll bike back on the area’s great trails.
