Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge

Highlight • Forest

Creamers Field is a former dairy farm turned 2,200-acre migratory wildlife refuge. It also has a handful of trails that are great for stretching your legs when you want a run without a lot of elevation gain — and it ties into several other nearby trails if you want to log more distance.

Depending on your goals, this can also be an excellent place to warm up or cool down, either before or after a longer run. If you happen to visit in the spring or fall, you might also be lucky enough to see spectacular crowds of sandhill cranes.

Wander Lake Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Although this isn't the wildest or most adventurous trail around Fairbanks, it's still a beautiful oasis of nature in the middle of the city. The trail is largely paved, with frequent benches, interpretive signs, and even a couple of lookout towers to give you a better view of the water.

You can access this loop from a couple of places: Either behind the grounds of the Wedgewood Resort or, if you want a longer hike, via a connecting trail from Creamers Field.
