(Anchorage, AK) – The Alaska Division of Parks was established in October, 1970, the same year the legislature created Chilkat, Kachemak Bay, Chugach and Denali State Parks. In the past forty years, Alaska’s state park system has grown to encompass 3.2 million acres in 121 different units. These 121 state park units vary in size and character from the one-half acre Potter Section House State Historic Site to the 1.6 million acre Wood-Tikchik State Park.
In celebration of the 40th Anniversary special events will be held statewide this year. Two events planned for May are:
