Russian Jack Springs Park North

Dogs enjoy playing off-leash in this park in Russian Jack Springs Park's northeast corner, but they must be kept under control because the area is not fenced.

Off-leash pathways are available at University Lake Dog Park in Anchorage, Alaska. On a seasonal basis, several paths in this park may be closed to off-leash use. Trails like these will be well marked. Respect the park's wildlife and other visitors. To protect nesting birds and a particularly active beaver community, swimming by dogs and/or their owners is prohibited. During mating season and when guarding their young, beavers may be rather aggressive.





Bring Petzooie to Far North Bicentennial Park for some off-leash fun on the designated trails.

The Alaska Railroad welcomes pets. The main line of the Alaska Railroad runs 470 miles from Seward to Fairbanks, linking settlements throughout Southcentral and Interior Alaska. The Alaska Railroad runs all year, with seasonal schedules varying: the busy summer season runs from mid-May to mid-September, while the quieter winter timetable runs from mid-September to mid-May. Pets are only allowed onboard in the baggage compartment and must be in a kennel that has been certified by the airline. When disembarking at the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop, kennels can be left adjacent to the train and picked up when you return.
