Susitna And Deshka River Boat Launch Willow, Alaska
DLOA LLC was formed in 1998 to insure that there is continued access to the Lower Susitna Drainage. The drainage includes the Susitna River, Deshka River, Yentna River, and the Alexander Creek and all their tributaries. We provide year-round access to the river system via a boat launch ramp. We encompass approximately 41 acres, of which about 20 acres is use for the main parking lot to include parking, storage, a small store, indoor restrooms, and fuel.

It’s a gorgeous day to kickoff the Iditarod weekend. Reports of windy conditions out on the river with blowing and drifting mainly starting about 4 miles before getting to Scary Tree at the mouth of the Yentna all the way up to Skwentna.
We are expecting a busy weekend, so please help us conserve space by parking in designated rows and not leaving gaps between vehicles.
Early bird annual and summer passes are on sale now through April 2nd at 5pm. Stop by the office or give us a call to secure your discount.
Wind blowing on the Deshka pretty good this evening. Wind drifts starting to form on the river. Current temp 10° 9:34pm Stars are out!
