Purinton Creek Trail Re-route

Subject to Alaska Statute 38.05.850, the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water (DMLW), Southcentral Region Office (SCRO) is considering a revision to an application for a public access easement from Department of Natural Resources, DMLW/SCRO within Section 19, T 20 North, R 8 East, Seward Meridian. Purinton Creek Trail Re-route (ADL 227491) begins at the parking area at approximately MP 91 of the Glenn Highway, and ends where it intersects Boulder Creek Trail and RST 564 Knik-Chickaloon-Nelchina Trail in Section 23, T 20 North, R 7 East, Seward Meridian.  The proposed revision improves the alignment of the current application described within a trail prescription preserving existing and future recreational needs for the public with a sustainable design that better utilizes the steep topography (see attached map).  The proposed revision is approximately 1320 feet in length and 100 feet in width, containing approximately 3 acres in addition. Development of this reroute will be in addition to the access currently provided by the section line easement.
