ANCHORAGE, Alaska – In coordination with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), the
Municipality of Anchorage Department of Parks and Recreation and Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
are temporarily closing several trails in Far North Bicentennial Park and the BLM Campbell Tract as a
precautionary measure due to heightened bear activity. Trail closures include the Rover’s Run Trail and
Salmon Run Trail. The closure is effective immediately and will remain in place until further notice.
This decision follows recent close encounters between trail users and brown bears, as well as
observations made by biologists with both ADF&G and BLM monitoring the area.
While bears can be encountered on any Anchorage-area trail, this closure provides space for bears to
forage in an area where they naturally congregate seasonally, while also reducing the risk of negative
human bear encounters. Anchorage Parks and Recreation and BLM urge the public to respect trail
closures, and to exercise caution and bear awareness while recreating.
