Description: Tony Knowles Coastal Trail hugs the coastline of Cook Inlet from 2nd Ave and H St Downtown 10.5 miles Southwest to Kincaid Park. This roundtrip tour starts at 2nd Ave and H St, ventures Southwest to Westchester Lagoon, then, returns to 2nd Ave and H St. The trail is marked by mileposts every 1/2 mile, beginning at 2nd Ave and H St, increasing as you travel Southwest. This section of the trail is 1.25 miles long. The trail has a few minor grades; however, it is well suited to the novice user. The other section of the Coastal Trail is presented separately under Coastal South.

Connections: To access Ship Creek Trail from the Northeast Trailhead, take 2nd Ave to Christensen Dr to 1st Ave to North C St. The Coastal Trail intersects with Chester Creek Trail at Westchester Lagoon.
