East Fork Chulitna Wayside

Tips from campers about East Fork Chulitna Wayside

  User1054 The park info says you can access the park from the north via VA20 from I-64 or from the south via Mercer Springs Rd/VA20 from I-77. Either way is challenging, but I RECOMMEND COMING IN FROM I-77 for those of you driving larger motorhomes or 5th wheels. I came in on the north side from I-64 and was faced with a very narrow, winding road for the first 10 miles. I knew it was coming, but it was still an eye-opener. Pavement was in poor shape, the road had no shoulder, and there was plenty of oncoming traffic to make it sporty. Apple and Google maps will try to take you into the park on the road right before the main entrance; follow the park guidance and look for the huge brick sign at the entrance. Exiting the park I used VA20/Mercer Springs Rd to get to I-77. VA20 was great going south - plenty of shoulder and smooth pavement. Mercer Springs Rd was another windy, narrow road, but the pavement was OK and it only lasted a couple of miles. No problems on VA 20 either direction with overhead clearance from limbs (my coach is 12'10" high).
