Anchorage Park Foundation is a non-profit charity supporting local parks and trails in partnership with Municipality of Anchorage Parks and Recreation. We are promoting the Moose Loop as a destination trail to connect Anchorage – fundraising to improve wayfinding. The City’s four main multi-use trails—the Lanie Fleischer Chester Creek Trail, Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, Campbell Creek and Ship Creek Trails are linked together on city streets to form a 32 to 37 mile bike loop. The paved trails connect to mountain bike trails that connect to Chugach State Park, an alpine tundra park with mountains ranging from 2,000 ft to 8,000 ft in elevation. If you love the outdoors, Anchorage is a great place to live and visit Visit AnchorageParkFoundation.org for more information and ways to help.
