The trail system of Anchorage, Alaska spans 578 miles (930.2km).

The trails, which are used primarily for recreation and commuter traffic, are heavily utilized year round for walking, biking, and skiing. Many of the trail systems in place that connect the city of Anchorage in a commuter-friendly way were kick started by John "Jack" Roderick, the first mayor of the Municipality of Anchorage, who held office from 1972-1975.

  • The trail system of Anchorage, Alaska spans 578 miles (930.2km). The Municipality of Anchorage created the first set of trail systems for recreation in the late 1950s, not developing a system that was commuter friendly until the mid 1960s. The trails, which are used primarily for recreation and commuter traffic, are heavily utilized year round for walking, biking, and skiing. Many of the trail systems in place that connect the city of Anchorage in a commuter-friendly way were kick started by John "Jack" Roderick, the first mayor of the Municipality of Anchorage, who held office from 1972-1975. The Anchorage Trail Systems run through many local and state parks. The largest park that hosts a variety of trails is Chugach State Park. An innumerable number of trails cover this large area of land that stretches upwards of 495,000 acres (200,319 ha). The trail systems connect the greater Anchorage Bowl, the coastlines of Cook Inlet and Turnagain Arm, and the Chugach Mountain Range in Chugach State Park. Many trails in Anchorage are named in honor of individuals that made important contributions in the Anchorage community to an Anchorage trail system directly, or a person who had great success with a recreation/sport associated with the uses of the trail systems.
