Kincaid is a great park in Anchorage offering single track mountain bike trails, paved walking trails, and xc skiing and fatbiking in the winter. Also a great place to spot a moose or bear while in Anchorage!
If you're interested in biking, hillside park is also a great option for single track. Also, we highly recommend Far North Bicentennial Park for winter fatbiking. We love to bike around town so please let us know if you have questions about nearby trails!
