About Knik River

Knik River sits about 15 miles southeast of Palmer, stretching along the base of Pioneer Peak and the wide gravel flats of the river itself. Living here feels remote and peaceful, with large wooded properties, incredible glacier views, and immediate access to trails for riding ATVs, snowmachining, and hunting. Even though you are surrounded by open wilderness, it only takes about twenty minutes to reach downtown Palmer for groceries, dining, and schools. It is an ideal spot for people who want room to breathe and direct access to Alaska's outdoors while keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach.
