Log Cabin History The Trapper Creek area goes back to a time before the construction of the Parks Highway. Back in the 1930's, Trapper Creek was a mining town. In the 1950 's, a group of Detroit homesteaders moved here, calling themselves "The 5gers." Trapper Creek was settled before the Parks
Highway was built. There was no bridge, so settlers had to travel to their homesteads either by barge or over the winter ice from Talkeetna.
