Anchorage's New Law on Public Access to Trails

Anchorage, Alaska, introduces a new law, AO 2025-27, to prevent private landowners from blocking public access to trails or parks. The ordinance comes after instances of public access points being obstructed, like the Stewart Trail easement. While some landowners, like Brandy Pennington, feel unfairly targeted, advocates like Haley Johnston from Alaska Trails argue that the law is necessary to ensure public access to natural spaces. The goal is to strike a balance between private property rights and the publics right to enjoy Alaskas outdoors. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
