Chugach State Park

Chugach State Park dwarfs most other US state parks in size, spanning over 500,000 acres. The park, which is located in south-central Alaska, was established in 1970 and is home to the most beautiful nature in the United States.

Within the park, there are at least 28 recognized routes divided into three broad regions: the Hillside, Eagle River and Eklutna, and Turnagain Arm. The most diverse trail system is the Hillside trail system. It's also the most convenient for tourists visiting Anchorage.

The Chugach State Park features rest spots such as the McHugh Creek Picnic Site, and the Beluga Point overlook on the Seward Highway, in addition to trail networks. There are three campsites at Chugach State Park.
