Lakes: A Mat-Su CDP Defined by Water
Lakes is an unincorporated CDP in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough wedged between Wasilla and Palmer along the Parks Highway corridor. Around 8,360 residents live on parcels scattered among the dozens of small lakes that give the community its name: Wasilla Lake, Finger Lake, Memory Lake, Cottonwood Lake, and many more. The lakes are kettle features left behind by retreating glaciers at the end of the last ice age.
The lakes support a short summer season of rainbow trout and Arctic char fishing, float plane operations from the Lake Hood and Wasilla lake bases, and a network of hand-launched boats and skiffs tied up at private docks. In winter, the same lakes become ice fishing and cross-country skiing surfaces, and several host hockey leagues on cleared rinks. Finger Lake is the site of the Iditarod's first checkpoint after the Willow restart, with mushers arriving there within hours of leaving the starting chute.
The CDP's growth tracks the broader Mat-Su expansion. Land costs below Anchorage levels and highway commutes that compressed after the Glenn Highway upgrades have drawn families here for two decades. Schools fall within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, with Goose Bay Elementary and Wasilla Middle School among the feeder schools.
