Visitors to the park have access to Little Susitna River as well as Prator Lake, Loon Lake, Bear Paw Lake where there is ample trout fishing as well as space for boating and other water activity. There are also miles of woodland areas for hiking and camping. Since 1990, the city population has more than doubled from only 900 people to more than 2000 and it has continued to grow throughout the years due to low property cost, business infrastructure and the natural beauty surrounding Houston.

Shipping a Car to Houston

You can use the following tips when you are planning to ship a car to Houston, Alaska:

• If you want to get reasonable rates to ship a car to Houston, remember to reduce the vehicle weight as much as possible as car shipping is based on overall weight of a vehicle. If you have removable items such as spoilers, tool boxes or other accessories, be sure to take them off before the car is picked up to help lessen the load weight.
• Anchorage is the largest as well as the best port city in Alaska to ship a car. Since Houston is so close to Anchorage, this will be the best port to choose when making plans with the transporter.
• Make sure that the insurance coverage is adequate for your car. While all auto transporters must carry insurance it is always a good idea and often recommended, to make sure your own private insurance will cover the car while it is being shipped.
• You need to be physically present or have an authorized adult present when the car is picked up as well as when it is delivered. The transporter must complete a vehicle inspection for the Bill of Lading and it must be signed for insurance purposes by the vehicle owner or a person authorized by the owner to sign.
