Gasline Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail isn't paved, but it is wide and straight and easy to ride, as long as you don't have skinny racing tires on your bike. Use caution in regard to wildlife, especially as you approach the creek, because bear sightings are very common here when fish are running.

Because of how common bear encounters can be near the creek, officials close the Rover's Run Trail (which intersects near the east end of this trail) to traffic during the summer. Please respect that closure — it is for your safety.

Viewpoint Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This packed-gravel doubletrack isn't just part of the trail network here in Campbell Tract. It's also an important part of the route known as the Tour of Anchorage. Technically the Tour of Anchorage is a ski marathon, but there is a bike division and the overall route is very popular for recreation all year 'round.

The north end of this trail is very close to another trail known as Rover's Run, which is closed every year to reduce the risk of dangerous (and sometimes fatal) bear encounters. Please respect the warning signs and trail closure, for your safety.

Tour of Anchorage Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Tour of Anchorage is a cross-country ski marathon that takes place every March, linking together a series of trails across the city. Those trails aren't just for skiing, though. They're designated for multi-use all year round, and are a core part of recreation throughout Anchorage.

This stretch of trail is wide, well-packed dirt — translation, you have good footing and won't get crowded by brush — and sports only rolling hills, making it a great place to stretch your legs for a run.

Abbott Multi-Use Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This multi-use trail is mostly hard-packed dirt. It's totally non-technical, though, excepting some persistent muddy spots, so as long as you don't have skinny road tires it's pretty easily bikeable. Please keep an eye out for wildlife like bears and moose, as encounters are always possible around here — and watch for oncoming bike traffic and slower walkers, as this is a little narrower than many other multi-use trails in town.
