Matanuska-Susitna Borough

Alcantra Trail System - Open

Moms and dads pushing babies in strollers, joggers, walkers, school kids, and disc golf players are traveling this 1.6 mile paved path. It forms two loops. One circles the baseball field. The larger one runs parallel to Serendipity Loop. With ample snow, the trails are groomed for Nordic skiing. Most of the trail network traverses gentle terrain through a mixed forest of  birch and spruce. The area is part of the greenbelt for Woodfield Estates, a residential subdivision that surrounds the school and athletic complex. The greenbelt provides habitat for small animals, birds, and moose. The trails also provide access to the two schools, Larson Elementary and Teeland Middle School.

Alcantra Park

The trails at Alcantra are only a part of the amenities available at the Alcantra Sports Complex. Check out the park's page for a map of the park, other amenities, and reservations for sports fields.

12/18/24 The MSB Grooming Crew was able to pack the new snow on the paved loops. Packing is basically trying to get the snow to stick to the ground / base. Expect early fall like conditions with some ice still under the packed snow.

Dogs must be on leash. Be courteous to neighbors. Watch out for frisbees. This trail is non-motorized. No alcohol is allowed. The disk golf course is open from 8am to 10 pm.
