Description: The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail hugs the coastlines of Knik Arm and Cook Inlet from 2nd Ave downtown Anchorage 10+ miles South to Kincaid Park. This roundtrip tour starts at Westchester Lagoon, ventures North to 2nd Ave and E St, then, back to Westchester Lagoon. The other section of the Coastal Trail is presented separately under "Coastal South." This section of the trail is approximately 1.28 miles in length (one-way) and is not marked by mileposts. The trail has a few minor grades; however, it is well suited to the novice user.

Connections: To access the Ship Creek Trail from the Northern Trailhead, take 2nd Ave to Christensen Dr to 1st Ave to North C St. The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail intersects with the Lanie Fleischer Chester Creek Trail at Westchester Lagoon. Click the map thumbnail for a Trail Map.
