Runner Notes

Flat trail, however most of it is step-and-run boardwalk.

Description

Most of this trail is step-and-run boardwalk. The first 3/4 mile passes through dense spruce-hemlock forest before opening up into muskeg meadows that offer impressive views of the Chugach Mountains. Short spur trails provide fishing access to five small lakes with populations of cutthroat trout up to 12 inches in length. At the junction with McKinley Lake Trail there is an option of returning to the highway or continuing north to McKinley Lake cabin and the remains of the Luck Strike Mine.

Flora & Fauna

Passes through spruce-hemlock forest and muskeg meadows. Great area for mushroom foraging and berry picking during their respective seasons.
Lakes have cutthroat trout.
