I remember swimming in it and came outa the water and it was the first time I've seen leaches stuck to my legs. Of course my grandparents thought this was so funny back then.

A few sitting areas are sprinkled throughout. As someone who avoids small talk and parent interactions, I try to show up at the crack of dawn. There will still be folks here, but at least you aren't elbow to elbow. It's difficult to bring my kids to these swimming areas without the intention of swimming. I prefer for my kids to swim at Little Campbell Lake (near Kincaid Park), instead.

Super Late on this review but finally got to it. We were in Alaska last year for my sister's T4K…read moreRide (http://www.texas4000.org). After she was done we wanted to explore Anchorage a little. After reading about Chugach guides we booked a hike with them. My parents never go hiking or trekking, neither does my wife!!! For them to enjoy this, was a big deal. Sudevi was on time and super cheerful. She is very knowledgable and kept the hike easy for most of the way keeping in mind that my sister just biked 4500 miles from Austin 2 days before. My mom is a botanist so she got to explore her flowers and plants, I like mountains so we got some nice shots. I would highly recommend Sudevi and her company. She was equipped with water and snacks, what else can you ask for.

Those poles saved my knees on the way back! I highly recommend this company. I felt I received great value.

I probably spend more time at this park year round than any other park in Anchorage proper. It is…read moreconveniently connected to multiple trails and easy to access on foot from most of West Anch, Spenard, Northstar/Valley of the Moon, Midtown, and Downtown. If you've got a bike, you can connect from even further out very easily. As such, the Lagoon looks a lot like a Gilmore Girls community and is popular with people year round. There are frequently small sponsored events going on- the coolest of which involves ice skating in the winter. I personally love this park because it's a great place to bird watch. It's a fragile breeding ground for aquatic birds (take note dog owners - IT IS NOT OK TO LET YOUR DOGS OFF LEASH HERE OR LET THEM SWIM!) Red Neck Grebes are one if the more unusual arctic birds that breed here. The arctic terns also put on quite a show. Various loons and cranes also make an appearance, as well as some unique ducks. There's also an awesome playground and snack bar for the kiddies. A few years ago they also installed a bike counter that tracks the thousands that use the Tony Knowles at various intervals - it's fun to watch the numbers climb as the season goes on. There's also a free bike maintenance station here. Definitely a great location for lots and tourists alike, but parking is a problem, so carpool or better yet, use the trails!

This is a park which also goes by the name also known as Margaret Eagan Sullivan Park, is home to a…read moreman-made water fowl sanctuary, a lake, a disc golf course and a playground. They have private parking lots for you to park free of charge. It is located near downtown and is a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It conveniently lies at the intersection of two of Anchorage's most popular trails, the Tony Knowles and Chester Creek trails. There were many runners traveling through while I was there, going through the two little tunnels that run under the road. You will find benches and picnic tables here to sit around the lake. This is home to lots, I mean lots, lots of waterfowl. They seemed aggressive, so I kept my distance. The disc golf course was nice but was covered in snow and mud. The lake is nice and during the winter is converted to an ice hockey/skating rink. My only complaint is that the park could be a little cleaner, even though part is that could be due to me visiting off-season. There were some maintenance guys there do some other stuff. The park is touted as a great place to bird watch in the spring and you can see other animals such as moose, beaver in the early morning or late evening, muskrats, foxes, otters, and minks, year-round, but it is rare. I did not see any of them. This nature park has a calming kind of peace to it, even though you hear the hum of cars on the nearby road. Just sitting on the bench looking out to the lake was so very soothing. If your schedule permits, I highly recommend visiting this place to just relax and recharge.

I spent the better part of a day shoveling snow off the bridge so our guests didn't get sucked into 3 feet of snow, but it was worth it. My only complaint is the city needs to do something about the parking lot. Since I always walk here, I didn't realize until my wedding day how absolutely jacked this parking lot is. If you don't have an all wheel vehicle, there is a very good likelihood you will bottom out and get stuck in the ginormous holes at the entrance to this parking lot. Other than that, it was a beautiful day.

Previously I've only really explored the paved trail going down to the beach and connecting to Earthquake Park. If you are a beginner xc skier, I recommend starting at the stadium and slowly doing the smaller mize loop.

Kincaid has so much to offer and I am so glad I had the opportunity to explore it from the perspective of my skis!

Another case of the disappearing review. Yelp, if you were a person, I'd have you evaluated for…read moredementia. Anyway.... Little Campbell Lake (aka Beer Can Lake - a truly undeserved moniker) is a sweet little lake trail tucked away at the entry of Kincaid park. It has it's own parking lot and is several miles away from the Chalet and soccer fields. It's really in it's own world. It has a loop trail around that is shy of a mile. There are several trails that connect at this location at or near the parking lot. The Little Campbell is also a stocked Lake, so although it's small, its a popular fishing location. And I frequently note kids and dogs swimming here. Frankly, the water looks too... healthy with plant matter (slimy!) for swimming, but that's just me. This is an awesome location for scouting mushrooms and berries, I always find awesome stuff in this area. Rarely do find the parking lot full. As with most parks in Anchorage, the one thing that irritates me is unleashed dogs and crap that is left behind. Nothing like dog crap to ruin our pristine landscape. But other than that, this is a very accessible, but fairly unspoiled location for a quick get away.
