Tony Knowles Coastal Trail Biking Trail ·$

This coastal trail offers 11 miles (18 kilometers) of paved walking, skiing, biking and in-line skating heaven. It also provides unbelievable sunset views. Tony Knowles Coastal trail, built in honor of one of the city's former mayors and the former governor, is joined by many side trails that come from the midtown and south Anchorage districts. Along the way are mile and trail markers and, at Westchester Lagoon (one mile south of downtown), built-in fitness centers with pull-up bars, sit-up benches and general fitness information.

Rented e-bikes and headed out on the trail! Trail is easy to follow/navigate. Saw 3 moose, one just trotting along the trail like it was just another Tuesday morning! Beautiful ride, easy to forget you’re in the city. Plane flyover was cooler than expected!

One of Anchorage's best outdoor amenties; you can walk or ride a bicycle for miles and miles, connecting to parks and places, free from automobiles. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This was an easy, pleasant walk. Nicely paved. Beautiful views. We are seniors and hd no problem with the walk. We walked on the weekend and there were others, but not too crowded. Enjoy!

Enjoyed accessing this trail for walking from both the downtown Elderberry Park and the Earthquake Park trailheads. Limited free-parking available. The Earthquake Park location had informative descriptors of the effects of the 1964 Good Friday 9.2 magnitude earthquake.
