It’s an easy and flat trail system, close to Ted Stevens airport. I’ve seen runners, mountain/fat bikers, casual walkers, and families with their dogs(leashed/unleashed) enjoying this trail! You can dip into the trees from the parking lot, which form a unique trail winding through the woods, or head towards the cleared trail at the south side of the parking lot towards the hill. I prefer the trees, which does meet up with the cleared trail. You can walk the cleared trail all the way down to Raspberry Road & Minnesota. Please NOTE: This is NOT a fenced in dog park, if you’re looking for one of those head to Arctic Benson Dog Park. However, according to Anchorages’ Parks & Rec department, this is technically an Off-Leash Dog Area and of course there are rules(which can also be found here ). Off-Leash Dog Areas — Rules and Regulations: –Dogs must be legally licensed and have a current rabies vaccination. –Dogs must be leashed upon entering and leaving the off-leash dog areas. –Classified dogs and female dogs in heat are prohibited. –The owner or custodian of the dog must remain in the dog area with the dog. –Dogs must be under control as defined in Title 17. –Dog feces must be cleaned up by the dog owner or custodian. Holes dug by dogs must be filled by the dog owner or custodian. –Owners or custodians are responsible for all actions of their dogs. –Be respectful of the wildlife living in the park and the lakes. The lakes with posted signs prohibiting dogs swimming in them is there to protect them as well as you and your pet. Off-Leash Dog Areas — Additional Rules and Regulations for Specific Areas: –Connor’s Bog — Off-leash activity shall be restricted to the designated area once ski-joring trails are groomed.
