Summer is one of the prettiest times of year in Portage, Alaska as the brilliant sunlight reflects off the calm surface of the lake and the landscape which is ablaze in vibrant green hues.

Portage Lake was formed behind the terminal moraine of the Portage Glacier when it first began receding and today the glacier face remains in the water to a depth of about 100 feet. There is a high amount of silt deposits in the lake making it impossible for any type of fish to survive in these cold waters.

The scenery from this point is beautiful as the snow slowly disappears from the mountain peaks as the summer sun becomes warmer.
