The Bureau of Land Management has a new draft management plan for Campbell Tract, the first since 1988. Proposals include recognizing most of the unofficial winter trails that have sprung up, limiting them to a 30-foot corridor and keeping them groomed.
presentation, include recognizing most of the unofficial winter trails that have sprung up, limiting them to a 30-foot corridor and keeping them groomed. BLM Recreation Planner Stolf Short said that, plus a new year-round single-track trail which is also in the draft plan, could help ease congestion and hopefully avoid clashes on trails that are meant just for sled dogs.
There’s also a proposal to authorize electric bikes. Short said that makes sense because trails at Campbell Tract merge with other trails where e-bikes are already allowed. “We have a big trail network that ties, you know, all across the Anchorage Bowl, and if you weren’t able to cross through Campbell Tract you’re really kind of backed up,” he said.“The layout of that parking lot, theoretically, could hold like 35 vehicles, but sometimes you’ll see roughly 75 vehicles and they’re parking, you know filling up every available space in there as well as on the street,” Short said.
The BLM will hold two virtual public information sessions to present the plan, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22 and at 2 p.m. Thursday, March 24. People can register to attend the Zoom session through the . There’s also a place to register public comment at the site, which will be accepted through April 20.Copyright 2022 KTUU.
