This is a nice trail if you don't want too much incline. There are picnic benches along the way, and you see more people enjoying this trail than the other trails in this area. On a sunny Day, there is a perfect spot at the end of the lake to sit in the grass an soak up the sun. Just... More

We did not walk the entire trail. We did enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the good footing. At the beginning of the trail, there were walking sticks, so we borrowed one (returning it when we were done). It was nice to have them along! We did not see any wildlife (and were grateful for that) but the forested areas and... More

My wife and I took this hike after finishing up our cruise ship shore excursions. We had walked around Skagway, and after exhausting the local tourist shops; we needed an outdoor fix. The trail head is near the railroad tracks/little park about 0.25 miles from the ship dock. The first part of the trail is kind of technical and a... More

The Dewey Lakes trail system offers great hikes, for those who are physically fit and accustomed to walking. The trail up to lower lake takes from 15-30 minutes, depending on your fitness level, and starts to climb from your first step. There are 2 good overlooks on the trip up; the first overlooks the town while the second (known as... More

If you are an older person, this is a nice hike if you take it slow. There is a bench at a turn in the trail that overlooks the cruise ships. Once you get to the lake, there is a trail around it but we did not go around it. The trail is steep in areas and there are rock... More

We did the loop in about 90 minutes, walking fast. The lake is beautiful and it was good to walk off some of the meals from the ship. The hike is a little steep in the beginning.

free and well sign posted. One side very flat and makes an easy walk the other side is very uneven with boulders to walk across. this was no problem for us but might be more difficult for infirm or slightly immobile people. for easy route turn right at lake walking in an anti clockwise direction and return the same way

We enjoyed the hike around Lower Dewey Lake. After a short climb to escape the noise of town, the hike levels off and continues around the lake. We basically had the trail to ourselves.

The trail actually started right near our cruise ship port. After a little tour through town we headed out on the trail. This trail is not for the faint of heart. You do have to work a little to get to this destination but it was really nice to see. As you can see in the picture attached. It's probably... More
