Tongass/Mendenhall Lake

Sarah Rudolph

It may be on the moderate to smaller size, but this place is fun and beautiful and full of surprises, especially if it's your first time! The glacier was awesome, and seeing Nugget Falls and getting that close to it was just wow! We did see a porcupine right by the trail beside the building, and we barely missed seeing a bear and her cubs on the way to the falls. Definitely a fun, educational, interactive place!

Beautifully designed, informative, and interesting. There are restrooms here. It is warm and dry. Even in mid-June you'll appreciate a little warmth near this massive ice-river valley that ends in the Mendenhall Glacier. The visitor center is one of the best, with spectacular panoramic views across the water to the glacier & the adjacent melt-off falls. The combination of the creeping cliff of ragged blue ice with the roaring broad ribbon of brilliant whit falling water is an exceptional experience for us all.

If you're in Juneau Alaska this is a must-see. Many people told me to stop and see this space. The glacier is lackluster as it has been melting and is very difficult to see. If it's something that you're wanting to do you must go sooner than later before this Glacier is fully melted. However there is a waterfall on this hike and that made it worth all the while. I definitely suggest going to check this space out.

Very cool park to visit, no pun intended! Seeing my first Glacier in person was pretty awesome and Nugget Falls is worth the short walk (45 minutes round trip) out to see it! Multiple trails to hike around the area add to the options to check out nature in the area. A must see for sure!

The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center is an absolute must-visit! The views of the glacier are breathtaking, and the center itself offers so much to enhance the experience. The exhibits are informative and well-presented, giving you a deeper appreciation of the glacier and the surrounding ecosystem. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, ready to answer questions and provide insights about the area. We loved the trails leading to Nugget Falls—an easy hike with spectacular views. The opportunities for wildlife spotting added even more to the adventure. Whether you’re here for the scenery, the education, or just to take in the natural beauty of Alaska, this place has it all. Don’t miss it if you’re in Juneau!

Very well kept grounds.plenty of hot water,was nice place to stay while checking out the ice burge

Overall a good place. Great views of the glacier and nice bathrooms. We did have a dog bowl and frisbee stolen from our campsite which is why it loses a star. Campground hosts say not only could it have been other campers but people from the neighborhoods nearby walk through. Just an annoying little thing. Still a positive experience overall

This was a great well kept campground, I had a great view from my campsite, right on the water. The restrooms were well maintained (although no soap). Easy to find my site, plenty of room for parking, the tent pad was nice and flat.

Great place to spend the weekend. Plenty of spots and lots of them have nice views. Can’t beat the location being right on Mendenhall lake
