State Budget Funding for the Alaska Long Trail
Alaska Trails and the coalition of partners have worked on securing funding for the Alaska Long Trail through the state capital budget since 2021.
While primarily Anchorage-area projects have received State funding, we continue to seek State funding for trail projects along the length of the trail from Seward to Fairbanks.
2025 State Capital Budget

Chugach State Park: Total of $1.1M for four projects in the State Park and the Anchorage Municipality.
2024 State Capital Budget

Chugach State Park: Total of $1.434M for three projects; Alaska Trails received funding for all three projects.

We are grateful to the Alaska State Legislature for supporting these projects and recognizing the value of the Alaska Long Trail project for the Alaskan economy and communities.
