The Auke Lake Trail was originally built to access the John Muir Cabin. It also provides access to Spaulding Meadows, an excellent place for Nordic skiing during the winter. The trail provides views of the Chilkat Mountains, Admiralty Island, Gastineau Channel, and Mts. Stroller White and McGinnis. The trail also offers plenty of birding opportunities, especially now that a recent $1.2 million update was completed by the University of Alaska Southeast in partnership with the City and Borough of Juneau.
