‘AK Long Trail’ virtual public meetings to be held June 27

By TNews Staff

After receiving nearly $17 million in state and federal appropriations, the "Alaska Long Trails" idea is plowing ahead with a feasibility study for designation as a National Scenic Trail

The federal Bureau of Land Management has been tasked with administering public outreach and is holding a series of meetings to address questions on the plan.

"Through this study, the BLM is analyzing the feasibility, suitability, and desirability of designating the route as a national scenic trail," the BLM said in a press release. 

The "Long Trail" would allow for multiple uses, including motorized, on its route from Fairbanks to Seward. It would connect existing trails and create new trails in some areas. 

Public information sessions will be held Jon June 27, from 12 - 2 p.m.
