UAS Campus Views
Campus recreation feels that the UAS campus has the best views of any college campus. The REC Center has installed several HD/4K cameras to show our campus’ unique location, nestled between the Inside Passage and the Juneau Ice field, providing an unmatched playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
Auke Lake Live View
Above is a live view of Auke Lake from the UAS dock. Average lake temperatures in the summer run in the low 50’s in April/May to the high 60’s in July/August. View current weather and air conditions for Auke Bay.
Auke Lake is a gateway to kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, and fishing in the summer with x-country skiing and ice skating in the winter. The Auke Lake Trail offers a great break between classes with a trail that allows you to leave campus and return via. a loop trail with lots of scenic outlooks along the way. While the Auke Lake Camera serves the purpose of keeping an eye on our watercraft in the summer, it is also a great way for Alumni and former students to get their “Auke Lake Fix

EagleCam Live View
Above is a live view of a cellular tower in Auke Bay near the UAS REC Center. This Verkada PTZ camera can capture a large area with exceptional details using wide-angle 360-degree pan, 220-degree tilt, and up to 32x optical zoom.
This fall the camera is being moved to the top of the tower you are viewing for both a view of an eagle's nest but also an eagle's view of Auke Bay. This versatile camera will show several views throughout the year. During the summer you’re likely to see a pair of North American Bald Eagles raising their young. Eagles mate for life and continue to use the same nest for many years. The first year this pair was observed was the summer of 2024. Outside of nesting season, this camera will have great views of Auke Bay, Mendenhall Towers, and will be able to scan the sky at night looking for the aurora borealis.
A selection of our favorite video taken from our EagleCam camera during Summer 2025. The view is from the REC Center zoomed into the nest from below.
