Bird-to-Gird Pathway

The Bird-to-Gird Pathway is a paved, roughly 13.3-mile multi-use corridor along Turnagain Arm with only about 300 feet of elevation change — explicitly not a hiking trail; describing it as a hike undersells how accessible it is. The Bird Point-to-Girdwood section, roughly 6 miles, is the practical core for most guests.

Who this suits

Guests who want an easy, accessible walk, run, or bike ride with real Turnagain Arm views — not framed as a hiking destination, more a flexible, low-commitment corridor outing.

A plan that works

Frame this as a paved walk/run/bike corridor, not a hiking trail — the accessible ~6-mile Bird Point-to-Girdwood section is the practical core for most guests.

Drive and timing, honestly

Along the Seward Highway, Turnagain Arm. No drive time is stated — none has been measured from either property.
Flexible, a couple of hours to most of a day depending on distance covered.

What we won’t promise

We cannot promise current trailhead access and parking, the current day-use fee amount, or current trail/pavement condition.

Practical notes

Explicitly not a hiking trail — paved and accessible, a genuinely different kind of outing.
