This trail provides access to BLM and State of Alaska Lands as well as the Gakona River Valley. The trail steadily deteriorates the further you travel from the highway. State of Alaska land is reached at mile 5.25 and the trail continues to the Gakona River another 2 miles or so. During hunting season (September 1- 20) it is not uncommon to have 30-50 vehicles at the trailhead.
