Plumley-Maud Trail is a 6.2 mile out and back trail located near Palmer, Alaska that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Originally a logging road, this trail has many small 'logging' roads off of the main trail. It can used year-round for a multitude of activities. Can be accessed from either Maud Road or Plumley Road. Parking is limited at both ends so use roadside as parking and be aware of private residences.
Pretty cool trail for jogging, fat biking, although you may run into hunters as I did.
Great winter hike. Features a creek, beautiful mountain vistas, spruce and birch forest, as well as open hayfields. Did from Plumley to Maud just one way. About 3 miles. Trekked in snow machine tracks most of way. Wildlife included one bull moose on road by Trailhead.
