Fog Lakes is a group of lakes located in the Talkeetna Mountains of Alaska, 43 miles southeast of Cantwell. The lakes extend east-west between Fog Creek and the Susitna River at an elevation of 2,221 feet (677 m). Access to these remote lakes is limited, likely requiring air transportation or a challenging overland journey.

The lakes' name, officially recognized by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1951, suggests the area may experience frequent fog, which paddlers should be prepared for. Weather in this region can be unpredictable, with potential for rapid changes typical of Alaskan mountain environments.

Fog Lakes' location in the Talkeetna Mountains offers a rugged, wilderness setting. Paddlers can expect pristine mountain scenery and potentially wildlife sightings. The lakes' proximity to Fog Creek and the Susitna River suggests they may be part of a larger watershed system. This could offer opportunities for extended paddling routes, though navigability between the lakes and nearby waterways is not certain.

Given the remote location, paddlers should be well-prepared with appropriate gear, including safety equipment. There are no known facilities or amenities at the lakes, so visitors should plan to be self-sufficient.

The Dena'ina name for the area, "Sc'edae' Bene'," indicates historical significance to Alaska Native peoples.

Paddlers considering a trip to Fog Lakes should thoroughly research current conditions, access methods, and necessary permits before planning an expedition to this remote Alaskan destination.
