==Fishing==
Accessible from the [[Richardson Highway]], which passes through Copper Center, the Klutina River and its tributaries are a major fishery for [[sockeye salmon]] and trophy-sized [[king salmon]], the latter sometimes weighing between {{convert|50|and|90|lb|kg}}.<ref name="Alaska Fishing"/> Floatplanes and jet boats, trails, and an unimproved four-wheel-drive road between Copper Center and Klutina Lake provide additional access to [[game fish]] in the watershed. In addition to salmon, the main species are [[Dolly Varden trout|Dolly Varden]] and [[Arctic grayling]].<ref name="Alaska Fishing">{{cite book|last=Limeres|first=Rene|author2=Pedersen, Gunnar|title=Alaska Fishing: The Ultimate Angler's Guide|edition=3rd|publisher=Publishers Design Group|location=Roseville, California|year=2005|pages=309&ndash;10|isbn=1-929170-11-4|display-authors=etal}}</ref>
