Hart Alaska, 7015 Abbott Rd, Anchorage, AK 99507, US

Ruth Arcand Park is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Anchorage's hillside neighborhood. This 1-mile square park was saved from development by concerned citizens led by Ruth Arcand herself, after whom the park is named. Despite being surrounded by major highways, the park offers a serene escape from the city, with well-maintained trails that are suitable for strollers. However, due to its wetland location, the trails can be flooded, especially in the spring, so visitors may need to wear long boots even in the summer. The main entrance to Ruth Arcand Park is located on Abbott Road, between Lake Otis Parkway and Elmore Road. Although the entrance is notorious for being hard to find, once inside the park, visitors will be rewarded with a peaceful and picturesque experience. The park's main trail is a 3-mile loop, often frequented by equestrians, and while it lacks a trail map or location indicators, it offers stunning views of the Chugach Mountains, Flattop, and O'Malley. Nature enthusiasts and hikers alike will appreciate the tranquility and natural beauty that Ruth Arcand Park has to offer.Generated from the website
