About Caribou Lake

Caribou Lake is a simple and plain medium-sized lake with lily pads growing on one side of the lake.

Alaska has more than 3000 named natural lakes; some famous lakes apart from Caribou Lake Alaska are Kenai Lake, Skilak Lake, Clark Lake, Eklunta Lake, and Goose Lake.

3 Things to Know about Caribou Lake

1. Caribou Lake Fire

On August 19, 2019, the Caribou Lake fire started 25 miles northeast of Homer, Alaska.

To control the dangerous flames, tactical firefighting air crafts assisted the firefighters with water and retardant drops. The aircraft which came for help consisted of Fire bosses, two heavy air tankers, and the local Alaska Division of forestry helicopter.

The Caribou Lake fires on Kenai Peninsula showed growth overnight on August 20, 2019. The North Fork fires were also reported on the same day.

Due to the fire’s proximity, the residents living along North Fork Road and communities along Diamond Ridge Road to the south were placed on a Level 1 Ready evacuation notice.

The ready alert means that people must be ready for a possible and potential evacuation, and it does not mean that the residents have to leave immediately.

There were no cabins or lodges which were threatened by the massive fire. Smokejumpers parachuted near the fire and began building the fire line along the southern side with water-scooping fire boss aircraft, two heavy and huge air tankers, and the local forest helicopter firefighters.

2. Caribou Lake Fishing
