Beautiful spot near Fairbanks with a lovely lake and stunning mountain views. You'll find a small pavilion and parking area by the crystal-clear waters.

It's the mission of the R.G. White Large Animal Rsearch Station to support research, learning and outreach when it comes to Alaskan animals. The 130-acre (52 ha) site is home to reindeer and muskoxen, the first of which arrived here in 1964 after the former homestead was handed over to the university the year before.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks' slogan is 'Naturally Inspiring' and they take great pride in the trail system near the university. Ballaine Lake is just one of the lakes that can be explored on this network of pathways. There are many potential loops and routes in the surrounding area.

Good place to observe large bison

The Robert G. White Large Animal Research Station (LARS) at the University of Alaska is one of the hidden jewels in Fairbanks that locals visit all year round. Located on the former Yankovich homestead, bordering the University of Alaska Fairbanks at 2220 Yankovich Road, it is an active destination, throughout the summer months, for viewing reindeer and muskoxen. LARS' responsibility is to maintain a healthy colony of muskoxen for nutritional, physiological and behavioral research and education in high-latitude biology, and the facilities for and expertise in maintaining colonies of large animals. LARS staff provides the educational opportunities for classrooms and the community through varied outreach methods and yearly events. The muskox is an Arctic mammal of the family Bovidae, noted for its thick coat (and for the strong odor emitted by males during the seasonal rut) from which its name derives.
