Visit McGrath
Modern Meets Blissfully Unspoiled
It's all about the energy! McGrath, a charming village of 340 friendly year-round residents, is less accessible than other Alaskan destinations and thus blissfully unspoiled. Reaching this northern gem requires extra effort, yet the rewards are dazzling.
Set your sights on the untouched beauty of the Upper Kuskokwim. The untamed nature will touch your soul and ease your mind. Gaze at the wonderous Northern Lights as they dance above on a dark winter night or soak up the Midnight Sun while playing a lively game of softball with locals.

Plan Your Great Escape Today
Escape to what has been called a most pristine wilderness destination. A place where your mind, body, and soul will relax and become one with nature, where you will find yourself slowing to the pace of the surrounding wilderness.
Whether you are traveling to McGrath for business, adventure or pleasure, you will be greeted with a friendly smile upon arrival. The friendliness will continue as you explore our village with every passing local giving you a wave "Hello".
Grab an espresso at the hotel or a juicy burger at the cafe. Plan to spend a couple of hours perusing the ancient history of the Upper K at the Tochak Museum. Spend the afternoon boating up the Takotna River, testing your luck as you search for agate gems or monster pike. Rent a snowmachine, kayak or bicycle for the day, as there is so much to explore. Then head to Joe's Bar or McGuire's Tavern to experience the colorful culture and charm as you dance the night away.
