Town Trails

This area is east and north of the hockey rink and Trans-Alaska Pipeline, between Jack Warren Road and Nistler Road. There are numerous existing trails, some of which are dry enough for summer use, and some of which are well suited for winter use. The purpose of developing this trail system would be to meet a need for an in-town organized trail experience to support youth sports activities, special events and general use for all ages. It would provide cross-country trails for skiing and running, accessible to the school and available to the public for after work trail experience in town. The management objective would be to have a groomed, lighted, trail system with an interior non-motorized section, and allowing the perimeter to retain current motorized use. The central location and range of possibilities make this project very desirable. U of A is the primary land owner, and it would be very expensive to purchase.
