Family Friendly Relatively easy trail that usually has an Agents of Discovery app mission for children to learn about wildlife and the trail.

Description

This short, mostly boardwalk trail winds through spruce-hemlock forest to a knoll overlooking the Copper River Delta. From this spectacular vantage point one may view the Gulf of Alaska, Kayak Island and many species of wildlife, especially trumpeter swans and moose. The trail has several log staircases. Benches on the trail and at the end offer a place to rest and relax.

The trail is a great year-round trail provided that the road is snow-free.
Often there is an "Agents of Discovery" app mission created by the USFS that engages children with wildlife and trail challenges.

Flora & Fauna
