Grayling Lake Trail
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: Easy

ELEVATION GAIN: 450 ft
The Grayling Lake Trail is an easy and pleasant section of the Iditarod National Historic Trail. Accessed from the trailhead at mile 13 on the west side of the Seward Highway, this trail winds through hemlock and spruce forest with occasional boardwalk across open muskegs. Grayling Lake is a great place for fishing and wildlife viewing and the trail offers excellent berry picking in the fall. This can be an out-and-back hike or can be made longer by continuing on the INHT south toward Divide, or north toward Primrose.
