Parks & Nature

Great single track biking trails and well-maintained paths leading out to the coastal trail. This park has a disc golf course and in winter it has a cross country skiing course! Lots of chances for wildlife viewing in the park as well as along the coast.

If you are interested in how the second most powerful earthquake in recorded history affected Anchorage coastlines and the nearby ecosystems then this park is a must-see. Along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and adjacent to Lake Hood this is a great place to stop along a bike ride or morning jog.

This trail stretches from Kincaid Park all the way to Downtown Anchorage and Ship Creek. It is well-maintained for wheels or feet (i.e. walking, running, biking, rollerblading, skateboarding, etc) and the views are beautiful, rain or shine!
