DNR offers land lease program

The Department of Natural Resources is offering more than 200 parcels of 
lands in five remote staking areas as part of the 2008 Remote Recreational 
Cabin Sites program.

Three of the five staking sites - Cheleca Lakes, Disappointment Creek and 
Sunday Lakes - are located in Southcentral Alaska, while the other two - 
Hunts Creek and Wien Lake, are in the northern region. Hunts Creek is 
located south of Chena Hot Springs Road near Valley Center and Wien Lake is 
located west of Nenana.

This land sale program allows Alaska residents to stake a parcel of state 
land in a designated remote staking area, lease the land until survey and 
appraisal are completed and then purchase the land at market value.

The deadline to submit a lottery application is April 11 at 5 p.m. The fee 
is $25. Applicants must be an Alaska resident for at least one year 
preceding the date of application, and applications must be received by the 
DNR by the deadline.

Only one application per staking area may be submitted. Lottery winners will 
receive a staking authorization to stake and purchase from 5 to 20 acres 
within a specific staking area.

The 2008 Remote Recreational Cabin Sites program brochure is available free 
of charge at many DNR offices throughout the state. The brochure is also 
available online at www.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/landsale/remote_recsites.htm or 
can be mailed to you for $2.00 postage and handling. For assistance call the 
DNR Public Information Center in Fairbanks at 451-2705.
