Defend the West Su

The Alaska Department of Transportation is holding a comment period this month on the first 22 miles of the proposed West Susitna Industrial Access Road. We need you to speak up! We will not be fooled, once this 100-mile industrial road for foreign mining corporations is started there will be no return. Join us in telling DOT that Alaskans don’t want any part of this road.

Tell Governor Dunleavy to stop funding this wasteful project.

The Alaska Department of Transportation will host two open houses, one in Anchorage and one in Wasilla to discuss and seek public input on the proposed West Susitna Industrial Access Road.

We encourage you to attend and speak up. If you can’t make it public comments can be made at

Free flowing keeps salmon going.

DOT is planning to muck up the waters with a road to nowhere. What they don’t show on their map is the incredible amount of water between rivers and streams in the West Su Valley. Even with a bridge over a river and a culvert on a creek, a road will act like a dam for the wetlands in this region.

Rivers and streams blocked by roads and narrowed by culverts are less likely to have the cold, clean water salmon need to thrive and spawn. Plus free-flowing channels give the salmon a fighting chance against growing numbers of pike.

Comment to tell DOT that we want salmon for future generations, not a road for a foreign mining company: westsuwild.org/take-action.

You’re right to be suspicious of a bridge to nowhere.

DOT drew a red line across Susitna and stopped in the middle of nowhere. Alaskans have to ask: why would the State of Alaska build an expensive bridge across Alexander Creek and then just stop a mile later? That is not a road designed for recreation, this is built for foreign mining companies and paid for by Alaskan taxpayers. The true end of this mostly private mining road would be around eighty miles later, at foreign-owned mining claims.

Comment and tell DOT that they can stop this road to nowhere and start improving the road systems Alaskans use every day: westsuwild.org/take-action.

Join us to celebrate Wild Salmon Day!
Wild Salmon Day is a fun community celebration to honor our shared connections to salmon and the importance of healthy salmon habitat. There will be live music, inspiring speakers, screen printing, games, activism, food, and fun! The Alaska Center will be giving out free wild scoops ice cream for the first 100 attendees and raffling off prizes during the event. Come on down and celebrate one of the best things about Alaska: our salmon. This is a family friendly outdoor event with a Kid Zone hosted by Trailside Discovery Camp.

Tell DOT their plan to trick Alaskans won’t work. Comment now.

DOT is running a ploy to make Alaskans think the road ends here. We’ve all seen the plans for the 100-mile West Su Industrial Access Road, but the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) and the foreign mining interests think Alaskans will be fooled by a big, bad thing, broken up into small pieces.

Tell DOT to say out loud the real purpose of this project and comment on why you don’t want the first 22 miles of the West Su Industrial Access Road: westsuwild.org/take-action.

“I'm well past the retirement age. I was looking forward to spending my sunset years enjoying what I enjoy currently here and five years from now. If this road goes through what's being proposed, I have no idea what it looks like. I really don't.
So, the uncertainty of it is that — you know, I'm not a worrying kind of a person, but it would tend to put a person to worrying about your future. And not only mine, but my children and grandchildren.”

—Gary Lillo, West Susitna cabin owner

The state is pushing forward a publicly-funded at least $450 million industrial gravel road across the wild West Susitna region, ending at mining claims owned by Outside corporations. The road would cross 182 streams, damage Southcentral Alaska salmon habitat, negatively impact the region’s existing economy, and be paid for at the expense of projects and priorities across the state.

“A couple of years ago, this idea of a remote road to the Skwentna, crossing the flats and Alexander Creek and others, was brought to my attention by some advertisements that I started to see on TV.
From what I'm hearing, it's a significant change to the remote element that we currently enjoy here on Alexander Creek. And the road is projected to be nearly half a billion dollars of taxpayer money, state-funded. I'm wondering if there's other services throughout the state that you could think of where that money could be better used. And that’s talking about spending on developing this remote road, not spending it to maintain and upgrade. It seems like a poor choice to use limited resources from taxpayer dollars.”

“You've got multiple options currently to get here in the wintertime. You can snow machine out from a trailhead that's accessible. The Point MacKenzie area, it's a 25-mile run on a snow machine. Takes about an hour and 20 minutes to get here one way on a reasonably good well-used trail.
You cross this Little Su River, the Big Su River. And you do it safely because the residents out here use the same trail. They mark it. So, you know exactly where to go.
Summer months — early summer, late summer — I use aircraft to get here. And then, throughout the summer months, June, July, August and then September. I boat down from the Deshka Landing area. It's a 35-mile run on the river. I run an 18-foot jet boat with a 65-horse motor on it. It takes me an hour and 45 minutes one way. About seven gallons of fuel.
So those are the three options that I use in addition to chartering out with companies like Trail Ridge, on Lake Hood, for getting family friends and visiting relatives out here on occasion. I have a dock down in front of my property here where the plane can just land, taxi up, tie off off, load. Makes it real convenient.”

“Living in an area like this, there's very few that are full time year round residents. Most of us are — some of them are referred to as weekend warriors, but I'm probably a little more than that. I probably spend — not quite half a year out here, but more than a lot of people do. I'm here for two or three weeks at a time.
There's people that I've known now for 20, 30 years that are close friends and I wouldn't have known them had I not had a piece of property here, and spent a fair amount of time here. And they're all, the kind of Alaskans that you would like to think everybody up here is. They're honest. Straightforward. You can rely on them to help you if you get in trouble. And that's not the case in some other parts of Alaska that people might think are like that.”

“Family memories are a big part of what I'm all about out here. I have several cabins that I've built over the years. When family comes with my 6 grandchildren, who have basically grown up out here — I mean, my youngest grandchild is 17. I remember him being in the first cabin that we had built, in a bassinet, when he was an infant. And that young man, at the age of 16, helped me build a 20 x 24 cabin during the summer of 2022.
He helped me erect the walls. Behind us, here are my kitchen cabinets. He made the lumber on my sawmill. He put a tree on the mill deck, cut the wood to thickness, ran it through my table saw to cut it to the proper width then assembled it to fashion the cabinet framework. So I've had these family memories that are our treasure.”

“My enjoyment of this area has been to not only enjoy the remoteness of it, but if you walk out on your front porch and just smell the clean air and enjoy the sounds of nature, whether it's the birds that are chirping or whether you can hear, you know, sounds that you wouldn't hear in an urban environment. I enjoy that immensely, but I also enjoy sharing that with family and friends, particularly people that have not had the occasion to go to a remote part of Alaska. They're just amazed by the greenery and the trees and, the pristine beauty of looking across the Sleeping Lady and watching bald eagles flying overhead and occasional moose crossing a creek or a bear.
It's the remoteness, but it's also the isolation that, is, is a lot of enjoyment to me.”

“My name is Gary. I own some property here on Alexander Creek and I’ve been here for about 25 years, building log cabins and enjoying a remote lifestyle.
My first experience on Alexander Creek occurred in 1974. I was flown out here as a part of a complimentary tour by my employer to enjoy silver salmon fishing along with some of my coworkers. And we enjoyed a long weekend catching silver salmon. Camping along the creek, living underneath a visqueen shelter and a sleeping bag. I returned, doing that for five, six consecutive years before I ended up buying some property out here.”

Defend the West Su The proposed West Su Industrial Access Road is a state-funded 100+ mile industrial corridor carving through the heart of one of Southcentral Alaska’s most iconic landscapes. It would cross nearly 182 streams, impacting hunting, fishing, and wildlife habitat.

Certain rivers are so special that the state has designated them as Recreation Rivers to protect water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, public access, and commercial use. However, if the West Susitna Industrial Access Road were to advance, it would put several of these waters directly in the path of contamination from industrial trucks and mining equipment.

The proposed West Susitna Industrial Access Road will cross 182 streams, many not receiving adequate fish passage — all to burn through Alaskans’ money for foreign mining companies.

“We either fly in with the air charter or with our own plane, when it’s running right, that we fly into a little airstrip two miles up the river and then come on four wheelers to get to our house here. Most of our travel is done in the wintertime. We leave Point MacKenzie and come across the flats on our snow machines. We haul in most of our supplies in the wintertime—all of our fuel, all that kind of thing—and go to town as seldom as possible in the summer.

The uniqueness of this area is that it's close enough to the city centers that people can get here, but you have to figure out how to do it. That's what people like. People like having to get here by boat or snow machine or to learn how to fly.

We've been fearing that someone would try to build a road across the Susitna for a number of years. There's been a number of other projects like pipelines and things and we always cringe when we hear people talk about it because what makes this area so unique is that there isn't a road. And that's why people come here—to get away from the town and the city life and unwind where there aren't roads.”

“I'm a country girl and I love the outdoors and living here. You get to experience the animals and the life and everything that you never get to experience when you live in town. You see the natural process of life as it is in the wilderness, and I like that.

We make friends with all the different animals. We have moose that we have names for because we recognize them and they know us. Not very many bears around right now. We used to have lots of wild foxes that would befriend us and play with our dog.

I grow all of our veggies in the summer because we don't go to the stores. I can't wait til the sun comes out long enough to make plants grow this year. I have four different plots. I have a greenhouse with tomatoes and things. I grow all that we eat in the summer, veggie wise, and potatoes for winter.

There’s picking all the berries and waiting for the mushrooms to come up and just all the natural cycles that we live with.

We live by the season, not by the day, never by the hour. Half the time, we don't even know what time it is or which day it is.”

“I first started coming here across Cook Inlet from Ship Creek in Anchorage, visiting friends that were out here in about ‘76. My partner and I, had been here a number of times before and knew a number of people here, so we started spending more and more time coming over here. We built a little cabin up the creek in the ‘80s and then decided we needed to be down toward the mouth of the river where the fish were and all the action was. So we bought a piece of property with a 16x16 cabin on it and expanded it to what became Black Fox Lodge. And we ran the lodge there for 15 years, until 2001. Then we sold it, moved a half mile up the creek, and have lived in a house we built a half mile up the creek ever since.”

“One of the coolest things is being able to take these people out and just go show them everything that there is to offer out here. From the airplane, you can see a lot of the area and a lot of wildlife.
And so it's really awesome to be able to show that, and how you just get across the Cook Inlet from Anchorage. And then you're just out in remote areas. For tourists those trips are, a lot of times, one of the best things that people do on their entire trip in Alaska. It might just be an hour or two, and it has made their entire trip.
And we have so many clients that have cabins or live out in that area. We build relationships with those people, and it's nice to be able to help them out.
A road would ruin a lot of what is out there.”

“There’s a lot of people that have remote cabins, and there’s actually a lot of people that live out there full time. A large part of our operation is flying in that area and it revolves a lot around the Susitna Valley.
There’s also a lot of lodges and stuff to do a lot of, fishing or, even guided or outfitted hunts. So there are several services around the Anchorage and Willow area. It's a really large area out there with a lot of opportunity. Fishing, hunting, exploring, camping. Float fishing trips.
A lot of people love a lot of those rivers out in that area that are just great fisheries. And so it was always awesome and to be able to take people to go experience that.
But there has been some struggle with some of the king salmon runs in particular, and this is in the valley. So I don't know how the West Susitna Industrial Access Road would affect that. Plus the last few winters have been pretty tough on the moose out in the area. Normally there's a lot of moose out there. And for the last couple of years I've been seeing less and less of that.
Having a road out there would be even worse for that ecosystem.”

“I think I first heard about the West Susitna Industrial Access Road two years ago or so. I didn't really know a whole lot about it at first. And then I started learning what it was. It definitely had me concerned, not only for the business itself, but also for all the employees that we have. And then also the other side like the damage that would take to the Susitna Valley.
There's a lot of different places where the money would be better off spent. I don't even know where to begin.
There's quite a few roads that definitely could use more attention, that are commonly used roads, rather than adding another one to be poorly maintained.”
