State approves 25-year easement for Denali Nordic Ski Club trail near Talkeetna
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources has approved a 25-year public access easement for a ski trail maintained by the Denali Nordic Ski Club near Talkeetna. The decision was signed after the October 9, 2024 public comment deadline passed.
The easement covers a trail approximately 20 feet wide and 2,728 feet long, totaling 1.27 acres on state land in Section 36 of Township 26 North, Range 5 West, Seward Meridian. The authorization allows the club to continue using and maintaining the existing public ski trail without expansion or improvements to the route.
The Division of Mining, Land and Water's Southcentral Regional Land Office processed the application. The easement reissues an existing authorization that allows public access to the trail on state-managed land.
The club requested the 25-year term for the easement, which runs over land managed by the Division of Mining, Land and Water.
Questions about the decision can be directed to Summer Ruane at the Southcentral Regional Land Office at 907-269-8564 or [email protected]. The full application packet is available for review at the office at 550 West 7th Avenue, Suite 900C, Anchorage.
