The Reed Lakes are a set of two alpine lakes in the Talkeetna Mountains of Alaska. The upper lake is at 1289 m. They are the namesakes of the popular Reed Lakes hiking trail, and are notable for their turquoise color and location in a dramatic glaciated wilderness landscape.

Recreation and Access

The Reed lakes can be accessed from the Reed Lakes trailhead on Fern Mine Road. The hike to the lakes is considered moderate, and includes approximately 1900 ft. of elevation gain to Upper Reed Lake and a scramble over a boulder field. The Reed Lakes also lie on the informal wilderness route known as the Bomber Traverse.
