Kincaid Park

Located on the western edge of Anchorage, Alaska, Kincaid Park spans over 1,500 acres, serving as a year-round recreation hub. Known for its diverse landscape, the park features coastal bluffs, rolling hills, and dense forested areas, providing a sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Established by the city of Anchorage, the park is a favored spot for locals and visitors seeking outdoor activities. Kincaid's trails cater to hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and in winter, cross-country skiers. Spectacular views across Cook Inlet to the distant Alaska Range captivate sightseers, while wildlife enthusiasts often spot moose, bald eagles, and occasionally, black bears. Historically, the area once housed a Cold War-era Nike missile site, evidence of which can still be explored. With its convenient location and variety of outdoor possibilities, Kincaid Park remains a major draw in Anchorage for its natural beauty and recreational amenities.
