Finger Lake is a lake in Wasilla, Alaska. It is not technically a finger lake, but was named so by Captain Edward Glenn, who led an army expedition to Alaska in 1898 and felt that "when viewing the lake on a map, a point of land in the lake gives the impression of a finger."[1] The lake has populations of Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char and Arctic Grayling and is a popular fishing spot, including ice fishing in winter.[3] The lake is at the south end of the Seven-mile canoe trail that ends at Wasilla Lake, the only portage is at the north end of Finger Lake.[4]
