Pictures of our property on Leila lake Mile 121.2 on the Glenn Highway, about 7 miles west of Eureka Summit Lodge. The photos were taken in the fall of 2002 and February of 2003. We plan on starting a project this summer to build a house on the property. The lot is 5 acres and goes from the highway to the lake. We have seen wolf, bear, moose, caribou, and fox tracks on the driveway from time to time. The lake has a good population of grayling and is about a mile wide and .75 miles long.
