The Borough has stewarded a large collection of trail data from a variety of sources over many years, but due to the inconsistencies of accuracy and trail information it had not been in a condition to share publicly. In a combined effort between the Mat-Su Borough Land & Resource Management Department and the GIS Division this data has been reviewed extensively and adjusted to match best available imagery, and known details about usage have been included.
Examining over 1,200 trails totaling almost 3,200 miles, this work has improved the data to the point that it can be released for public use.
The Borough hopes that it will be a valuable upgrade for residents and visitors as they explore and enjoy all the incredible recreational opportunities the Mat-Su Valley and beyond has to offer.
