Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, Coastal trail in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is an 11-mile (18 km) paved path running from Second Avenue in downtown Anchorage to Kincaid Park. It is fully paved, supports two-way traffic, and connects with the Chester Creek Trail. Point Woronzof Park borders it to the east for about a mile from mile 5.0.

This trail was developed in the 1980s as a recreational route to connect the community with the natural shoreline. It passes through Earthquake Park, a site where a 1964 quake of magnitude 9.2 destroyed an entire neighborhood and reshaped the surrounding land.

This route links neighborhoods and parks together, serving as a gathering place where residents walk, run, and cycle in their daily lives. Over time it has become woven into how locals experience their connection to the water and mountains.

The trail is fully paved and carries two-way traffic, so keep to your side when cycling or skating. It links up with the Chester Creek Trail, and Point Woronzof Park runs alongside it for about a mile from mile 5.0. In winter the surface is used for cross-country skiing and skijoring rather than wheels.

The trail was pioneered and designed by Arctic Engineers, Inc., a firm wholly owned and operated by Sidney E. Clark, P.E. It is named after the former Anchorage mayor and Alaska governor Tony Knowles. Point Woronzof Park borders the route for about a mile from around mile 5.0.
