Moose Creek Trail

About Moose Creek Trail

Moose Creek Trail is maintained in the winter for snowmobiling, skiing, dog mushing, snowshoeing and fat-biking. From the Wickersham Creek Trail Shelter at 11.2 mile on Wickersham Creek Trail, the trail goes through spruce forests before crossing Wickersham Creek and continues along Moose Creek drainage. This area can receive considerable drifting of snow making the trail difficult to follow. The trail will climb to the Moose Creek Cabin site at mile 16.5 on the Trail Creek Trail.The Moose Creek Trail is closed to summer motorized use (May 1- October 14).

How to Get There

The Moose Creek Trail can be accessed at mile 11.2 on Wickersham Creek Trail or at mile 16 on the Trail Creek Trail. Both Wickersham Creek Trail and Trail Creek Trail begin at the Wickersham Dome Trailhead at mile 28 on the Elliott Highway north of Fairbanks, Alaska.
