Walking Event: Lake Hood Walk

Daily, dawn to dusk. Trail is rated 2. The route is a 10km (6.2 miles) walk along trails and streets circling Lake Hood Seaplane Base, the largest seaplane base in the world. The trail passes through general aviation areas at the Anchorage International Airport. Walkers are cautioned to watch out for aircraft and stay clear of aircraft parking, taxiing and runway locations. The route continues to Earthquake Park, a site commemorating the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake, with great views of the Cook Inlet, Mt. Susistna, and Mt. McKinely. Although an easy walk along bike paths and streets, this route may be difficult for wheelchairs and strollers due to the lack of sidewalks and narrow shoulders on many streets. Dogs are welcome, but must be on leash.
