	Chugach State Park Trail Management Plan

The Draft Chugach State Park Trail Management Plan was issued for public review in August of 2009. During the comment period that ended October 16, 2009, a series of public meetings were held in Eagle River, Anchorage, and Girdwood to present the plan and provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions and get more information. Over 200 timely comments were received on the trail plan. In response to the trail plan comments, the planning staff has assembled an Issue Response Summary (available below) that contains a summary of the comment issues, responses, and any recommended revisions to the plan based on the input received.
