About
Kincaid Park is a 1,400-acre municipal park in Anchorage, Alaska, set at 9401 Raspberry Road on the city's western edge. It is one of the largest parks in the city and is known for its wide network of trails that serve visitors in every season.
What to do
- Winter: The park is best known for its extensive cross-country ski trails, which draw skiers of many levels.
- Summer: Hiking and biking trails cross the park's terrain, making it a good place for a walk or a ride away from the downtown streets.
- Views: On clear days, the park offers panoramic views of Cook Inlet and, if the weather allows, Denali in the distance.
Planning your visit
Because the park is large, it is worth choosing a trail or two in advance rather than trying to cover everything in one outing. The views depend heavily on the weather, so a clear day gives you the best chance of seeing the mountains and the inlet. For questions about the park before you go, you can call the park at +1-907-343-6397.
Kincaid Park makes an easy outing for anyone staying in Anchorage who wants time outdoors. Visitors who enjoy skiing, hiking, or biking will find it a practical and rewarding stop, and those who simply want wide open space and a view across the water will find that here too.
