Anglers, grab your rods—kayakers, ready your paddles—and hikers, lace up those boots! Crystal Reservoir opens for the season on May 1, weather permitting.
Planning to explore just the North Slope Recreation Area?
You can purchase a North Slope Pass for $5 at the gate if you're not heading to the summit.
Due to limited parking at Crystal Reservoir, all guests are also required to purchase a $1 North Slope Parking Permit. We highly recommend buying your permit online in advance to secure your spot.
