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.
