Big Delta Park centers around Rika’s roadhouse which was operated by Rika Wallen for twenty three years until 1940. The roadhouse provided food and shelter to gold rushers, hunters and other travelers along the Valdez-to-Fairbanks Trail.
The first floor is opened to the public and furnished with local donations. There’s also a small cabin with museum exhibits, several out buildings and several buildings that housed an Army telegraph station. Interpretive signs are located along a self guided trail.
The trail around the roadhouse is mostly hard packed dirt and small gravel-pushing is fairly easy. The buildings have ramps. The gravel on the section of trail leading through the telegraph station is loose and deep. Wheelchair users may need some help.
The parking lot is large enough for any size RV. Roadhouse
