Auke Lake Camera
We feel that the UAS campus has one of the best views of any college campus. The REC Center has installed two HD cameras, one near the dock on Auke Lake and the other from the fifth floor of John Pugh Hall. 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 former students to get their "Auke Lake Fix".
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.
Auke Lake was the start of the Ironman Alaska triathlon on August 7, 2022. The University of Alaska Southeast campus (UAS) was the location of all transitions and the finish line.
