High School Programs

From June through August we will be accomplishing the vast majority of our trail work with crews of high school-aged youth from Kodiak and around the country.  In addition to helping us meet our goals for trails in Kodiak, this experience provides leadership, skill development and outdoor education for these young individuals. 

2010 Crews:
Kodiak High School
Switzerland County High School (Indiana)
Columbia Preparatory and Grammar School (New York)

Applicable State Laws

Tort Immunity describes legal protection afforded landowners who permit recreational or conservational easements across their property.  Useful for conjoining disconnected trails into a trail network! 

Generally Allowed Uses describes what you can and cannot do on state-owned lands not under any special management category.  Please use our public resources wisely.

This Legal Access checklist helps you determine whether you can legally access a trail on state or private lands. 

Trail Survey (2004)  The most comprehensive trail study on Kodiak to date.  (2 MB)

Stream Crossings

Crossing anadromous fish streams in an ATV or other wheeled vehicle is illegal unless specifically authorized by ADF&G.  Many such areas exist on the Kodiak trail system.  Please be a responsible rider and do your part to protect Kodiak's rich salmon resources and pristine rivers--do not cross a stream except at an authorized site.  Doing so requires a mandatory court appearance and may result in a fine of up to $1000.

Marine Debris - Stewardship of our Water Trails

The Marine Conservation Alliance Foundation and Island Trails Network are conducting an aerial survey of marine debris on the islands of the Kodiak archipelago from the Trinity islands to Shuyak island, and have conducted several large-scale clean-ups. We need your help in identifying which areas are most heavily affected by floating ocean waste, and volunteers to help clean them up. Click here to read more.

For non-motorized trails, this matrix was created by the US Forest Service, Adopted by Alaska Trails and is becoming accepted statewide for trail engineering & maintenance. Click here.
