This mulit-use winter trail follows the Duncan Creek drainage through open meadows and spruce and birch forest. The trail climbs gently for the first ten miles before a steep ascent to a ridgeline with views of the Beaver Creek drainage. This section of trail receives frequent windstorms and portions of the trail may be blown over with drifted snow. From Beaver Creek, the trail traverses a large meadow before crossing the bridge over Windy Creek and onto Wolf Run Cabin. Note that the primary access to the Colorado Creek Cabin is from the Colorado Creek Trail. At mile 14 of the Colorado Creek Trail take the Big Bend Trail 1 mile to the Colorado Creek Cabin.
Not recommended for summer use due to the abundance of wet lowlands along the trail.
Legend
Such a great spot to camp on your journey to the arctic circle. there is a trailhead across the street and then on the other side of the street there is a spot right on the creek with a fire circle already made. The beavers are very active and we caught a few little trout here. Make sure you’ve got bug spray cause they’re BAD up here.
Legend
We were the only ones here and tucked away behind all of the trees and fireweed. Road noise was mild and it got fairly dark under the cover of the trees. We didn’t even get out of our van because the mosquitoes were so bad though. We also saw two porcupines here as well.
Legend
We stopped here on our way out of Chena hot springs and went fishing. We were the only ones there and it was so peaceful. We really enjoyed it.
RangerMile 48 pond access on Chena Hot Springs road. Two small lakes filled with fish. Busy on the weekends but empty during the week. Beautiful
