Smoke Jumper Trailhead
Main trails originate from the Smoke Jumper Trailhead are Moose
track trail and Lynx trail. From those trails you can access to other
multi-use trails and dog mushing trails. Most of multi-use trails are wide
and well maintained. Dog mushing trails are not maintained in
summer; however, they are well suitable for hiking. In winter, use of dog
mushing trails are limited to dog mushers.
Multi-Use Trails
Large Campbell Tract Loop: Round trip 4 mile
Lynx - Coyote - Viewpoint - MooseTrack Trails.
Difficulty: Easy
From the parking lot, cross the road and enter Lynx
trail. This 2 person-wide flat trail goes through the woods
behind the BLM building. The trail crosses a wider trail (Lore Road
Trail) and become a single track trail. The trail further continues
1/4 mile and intersects with wider Coyote Trail. Take right of the Coyote
Trail. At 1/8th of the distance, take a left Viewpoint Trail. The
Viewpoint trail takes gradual upslope for half mile. At the top of the
slope you will see Chugach mountan infront of you. At this point,
trail forks: one straight down and another on left. Whichever trail you
take, both come to the same location. Continue this main
trail for another 1 mile, and you will reach a bridge of the Campbell
Airstrip Trailhead. During salmon run season, you will see red
Chinook and coho salmon heading for spawning. Continue going this
wide trail, or you can walk a nature trail along the Campbell creek. About
1/2 mile from the bridge, there is a trail on left that goes to Campbell Creek
Science Center Parking lot. Take this trail and take a right trail just
before reaching the parking lot. The trail is Moose Track
Trail. If the trail become grassy, you are on the wrong trail. The
Moose Track Trail is a nice well maintained two-person wide trail going along
the road to the Science Center. About a mile of walking throuth
woods, you will be back to the Smoke Jumper Trailhead.
