Confirmed from Crevasse-Moraine Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Community park with hiking trails and paths popular for biking, skiing, and other outdoor activities.
What runners say about Crevasse-Moraine Trailhead
“Trails are reasonably well marked and maintained.”
“In winter not fat down the trail is a great sliding hill for all ages.”
“I appreciate that the people I have encountered while walking my dogs have also kept theirs under control.”
You can put some miles in at this place, don't forget bug spray like me. Peaceful place to hike.!
Crevasse-Moraine Trailhead is an amazing place to get into nature and do some bird watching, biking, skiing, running, or even horseback riding. The trails are kept very well, and there are several options for you to choose from. In the winter, several trails are groomed for skiing.
Awesome !!!! Lots of different trails to take all well marked and trail length; Its conjoined with all of the matanuska/Kepler/Bradley lake trails so the system goes from the Palmer/wasilla hwy to the parks hwy. Nice wide trails for moutain bikes, horses, skiing in winter as well as for the average hiker.
One of my favorite places to take the dogs for a walk. Always see people out here on horses, mountain biking, or just walking the trails. The trail system is massive and caters to a short hike or longer, all-day hikes.
