Two Lakes Trail is a 0.9 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Seward, Alaska that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is best used from May until September. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
The Two Lakes Trail is very well marked and very easy to navigate. This trail is great for an easy hike in the woods as it is located very close to town and is a short, easy loop that is still scenic as it winds through the woods. The trail loops around the two lakes located in the park

Easy walk on flattened trail. Watch out for easy trips on rocks and roots.
Planned on accessing the trail via steps on the north end, but the trail was closed at this section due to hazardous conditions of stairs that needed repaired. Hiked further down the road and accessed the lake trail from the south end. beautiful tranquil lake and waterfall nearby.
If you're visiting Seward for the weekend or while on vacation, it would be kind of silly to include Two Lakes trail in your plans. It doesn't really have any scenery. I would only include this in my plans if I was physically incapable of doing the better hikes in Seward like the Bowl or Harding Icefield Trail or Mount Alice. For something like a quick walk after work or dinner or to get the dog some exercise, it makes more sense. Went today and ice covered about half the trail. Spikes/cleats are recommended, although good footwear and a slow, careful pace may be good enough.
