Trail Projects
For our community to have a great trail system, we needed to start with a great trail plan. That’s why our first step was to create the Delta Junction Community Trails Plan, 2015. We have used the plan to market trail ideas to build support and find the money to put trails on-the-ground. Our community trails plan is currently undergoing a 10-year update, and can continue to be updated in the future. Additional work towards construction of desired sustainable trails, advocacy work with land managers, and management of completed trails is on-going and will follow the revised community trails plan over the next 5-10 years.
Delta Junction Trails Association (DJTA) has built two brand new non-motorized trails in town that are ideal for all-season walking/running and for skiing in winter. DJTA also repaired and re-routed a trail just outside of town that provides for sustainable multiple use. Other existing trail options are user-created, non-maintained trails that are often rutted, muddy, packed with snow, or otherwise difficult to travel. Our highway shoulders are where we see our population running, or biking with families and small children in tow, with ATV’s traveling the edge of the road and ditch line. Our community continues to grow while at the same time demand for outdoor recreation facilities has also increased. Delta Junction needs to continue this valuable trail work.
We invite you to explore the projects from the Delta Junction Community Trails Plan, 2015 organized in the attached menus according to project status: projects DJTA completed that are in maintenance phase; projects listed in the plan that others have completed and are responsible for; active projects that DJTA is pursuing; additional proposed projects from the original plan; and projects where other agencies are the land managers that DJTA will advocate for.
