The City and Borough of Juneau, Trail Mix, Alaska State Parks, and the U.S. Forest Service are partnering on the Juneau Trails Master Plan – a 20-year document that will define high-priority trails and projects, and identify and address opportunities and constraints in the Juneau trail system. Let the planning team know which trails you use the most, what recreational activities you most commonly use the trails for, and what trail projects you would like to see in the next 20 years by taking this survey. The survey will run until August 16. Take the survey now.
The Juneau Trails Master Plan will provide coordination and connectivity between the partner agencies for the maintenance and further development of the Juneau trail system. The plan will be developed through community outreach, including one-on-one meetings with user groups, this online survey, and a public meeting later this year. With this input, the plan will establish a trail maintenance schedule to meet the growing demand for trail recreation of all kinds.
For more information, contact CBJ Planner Allison Eddins at [email protected] or visit the project website.

To maintain health and safety standards for animals and humans, the City and Borough of Juneau Parks & Recreation Department is closing Capital Park to dogs for five days due to excessive dog waste. Violations will be reported to Animal Control.
Parks & Recreation will continue to close other areas to dogs if the problem persists. Dog waste does not biodegrade like wild animal waste; it sticks around a long time. Dog waste also contains harmful bacteria, pollutes groundwater, and has an unpleasant odor.
Areas previously closed to dogs – Dimond Park, Melvin Park field #2, North Franklin Parking Lot grassy area, and the small area of land located at the top of Gold Street – have since opened.
Help keep parks and trails free of poop by picking up your pet’s waste and disposing of it properly. Please bring your own bags on dog outings, though bags are also provided at most CBJ trailheads and parks if you forget.
For more information, contact Park Maintenance at 364-2800.
