This visitor center contains a lovely interpretive display about the history and culture of this region. During the summer there are a number of educational, interpretive and cultural programs available. This is a must-visit if you're new to Fairbanks.

This is a summer-only trail, and one of the older bike trails in this area. As the name suggests, it's lots of bump-eriffic fun and you might just want to ride a few loops of it with the nearby Powerline/Commuter Trail. Travel is allowed in both directions. In the winter this is designated as a ski-only trail.

At this point you're passing the University of Fairbanks Alaska Georgeson Botanical Garden to the north of the road. If you like plants, it's well worth a stop near the beginning or end of your run, although it's only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There is a requested donation to enter: https://georgesonbotanicalgarden.org/visit/

This starts out as a roadside run, then dives into the trees along Sheep Creek Road. If you'd like, you can use this route to connect the University of Alaska Fairbanks, or UAF, campus to the wonderful running and biking trails near Ester Dome — or just enjoy it as a fun, straightforward run in its own right.

Creamers Field is a former dairy farm turned 2,200-acre migratory wildlife refuge. It also has a handful of trails that are great for stretching your legs when you want a run without a lot of elevation gain — and it ties into several other nearby trails if you want to log more distance. Depending on your goals, this can also be an excellent place to warm up or cool down, either before or after a longer run. If you happen to visit in the spring or fall, you might also be lucky enough to see spectacular crowds of sandhill cranes.
