Overview

Kincaid Park is home to the city's largest moose population, but bipeds also enjoy the beauty of this former glacial area. With more than 1,400 acres, this wooded park has trails that wind throughout. Many interpretive sites and frequent postings allow for navigation through this beautiful, hilly place. You may access the park either from the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail or by Raspberry Road. There is a large interpretive visitor's center available and many wide open areas where festivals are held. These trails are home to local and national skiing competitions and have also hosted Olympic tryouts.

Open Hours

An Alaskan experience right downtownby Yahoo | 2007-09-19 13:23:14 |

If you only have a short time in Alaska (on business for example) this is a great park to sample Alaska. Very convenient to the airport, nearby hotels or even downtown. There are nice, safe hiking/walking trails to get you out of the hotel and into the fresh Alaskan air. You can rent cross-country ski's or snowshoes from REI during the winter. You have a good chance to see moose and eagles anytime of the year but especially in the fall/winter/spring time. The views of the nearby mountains can be beautiful especially in the late afternoon sun.
