Girdwood Family Hikes: Kid-Friendly Trails & Walks

Girdwood is the perfect base camp for family outdoor adventures. Discover the best easy, low-elevation trails that are safe and fun for children of all ages.

Winner Creek Trail (First Section)

The first mile of the Winner Creek Trail is flat, wide, and well-maintained, winding through a beautiful mossy forest. It is stroller-friendly and features educational signage about the rainforest ecology.

Virgin Creek Falls Walk

This 0.5-mile round-trip trail is short enough for toddlers and leads to a magical waterfall pool. The dense tree cover keeps the trail protected from light rain and wind.

Moose Meadows Boardwalks

Explore Girdwood's wetlands via the flat boardwalk trails in Moose Meadows. They are great for spotting summer wildflowers, wild berries, and seasonal songbirds.
