in the last weekLocated in Anchor Point AK, Diamond Creek has breath taking views and exciting exploration. Trails for all ages. I recommend the Beach Trail! Can be very slippery. Make sure you have the right boots! Trail starts high in the mountain and ends at the beach. Creeks and wood are awesome!

3 months agoThese trails are a cornerstone of the community. Thousands of hours of community service by volunteers have created this fantastic network. There are 4.3 miles of singletrack wandering through the forest of the upper bench. A primitive, mostly unmaintained and often muddy and slippery trail traverses the river valley down to the beach from the lower parking lot. Once down, you have an opportunity to explore the beach and tide pools and if you're feeling adventurous, walk a ways up the creek to a series of small waterfalls. There is no road maintenance, no restrooms, and no garbage cans. Plan accordingly, pack it in, pack it out.

8 months agoFantastic place to spend time. Do check the time of the high and low tides. Make sure to wear xtratufts or equivalents! It can get muddy! Have a blast. Amazing rocks to sleep on.
