Trail runners and hiking lovers may choose to venture up to the University again to get on the trails. One of the most popular is the Equinox trail, named because of its use for the annual Equinox marathon, the most popular (and super grueling) run of the interior. The trail heads up to Ester Dome. Even if you don’t want to hike or run it, it’s worth the drive up for the view of the interior.

Summer and winter options for being outside! In the summer you'll find a disc golf course as well.

Great trails from the University and Ballaine lake parking lot. They loop throughout the woods behind the campus. Highlights are smith lake and the T-field. I recommend parking at the lookout above the Botanic Gardens and starting from there.

Very accessible and beautiful network of trails. There is even a lake somewhere in there. Make sure to wear waterproof boots in the spring!

Great close-by running and ski trails at UAF… rent equipment at Beaver Sports.
