We wanted to like this walk, but this section of the trail was infested with mosquitos like no where in Anchorage.- wow. We ran into this while in the east and north of town but the rest of Anchorage seemed to be fairly pest free, not here - bring your bug repellant or don't bother. Even that may not save you :(
The story they present is great and well done on each of the displays about the history of the earthquake, we'd have rated higher if not so uncomfortable here.

We did not get to enjoy the beautiful views here as it was foggy and rainy. That said, we were still glad to have made this stop and learned about the 1964 earthquake and how it impacted the state. There are plenty of places to explore if you have the time. If you don't, spend 30 minutes learning about the quake and, weather permitting, enjoying the views.

A beautiful park! Nature at its best. Went in late June and the birch trees against the green underbrush gave the area a mystical feeling. Short walk to viewing point of the earthquake slide damage and water.

If you want to visit this place, don’t make a special trip. See it when your heading to the airport as it’s very close by. Or see it in conjunction with a trip to the coastal trail which runs through it. It’s ok as a brief stop. Not much to see unless you want to do some hiking or bicycling on the trails.. I spent maybe a half hour there.

So we were brought here on the trolley tour and got to take a look around. We didn't see nearly enough of the park but what we did was very interesting. Seeing the ripples in the earth from the earthquake was a sight that you most normally wouldn't get to experience. From our observations, it looked like so many people were enjoying the other aspects of the park!

Big time earthquake here on 1964 one of the biggest ever and split this town in half. This area push the ground up and made rolling hills and valley. Near the area where the tsunami came and swallowed 77 homes. Interesting place of history

Absolutey love going to Earthquake Park. Every time I come to Anchorage I go there for a walk. It is very nice and easy. You also get a good view of the city. I always encountered mooses when I go there.

We first visited the park on the Anchorage Trolley tour. I wanted to spend more time so we returned in our rental car an hour or so after. The educational placards on the trail have great information on the Earthquake of 1964 where the entire cliffside fell into the Cook Inlet dropping 15 feet. Close to the Tony Knowles Trail for hikers and bikers to enjoy. There are mosquitoes but they did not bother us.

I think that a person has to have an interest in earth quakes or have been involved in the 1964 Good Friday earth quake to enjoy the park. I was there during the earthquake. I was disapointed in the park as far as info on the quake. there was a lot of vandilisim of the info areas. We were there on an exceptionally clear day, so we had had a nice view of Mount Mckinley, also a nice view of the anchorage sky line. A lot of nice paved walking and bike trails.We took a ten dollar trolley tour of Anchorage ( make sure you ask if they stop at Earth quake park.) The ride was fine and well narrated by colledge students. Saw a quick overview of Anchorage, neiborhoods, airports ect. then we got off the trolley at the park, spent an hour there and caught the next one to continue the tour.

First I will say that this area is amazing on a clear day. You can see Mt. Denali, the Alaskan chain, and the Chugiach (spell) mountain range behind down town Ancorage. As far as the park I was under the impression that it was left alone after the earthquake and that this area was once a neighbor hood that basically fell into the bay. I could be wrong but I thought that is what I read at the park and it was quite an eerie feeling. No skeeters for me as I was there Sept- Oct never had a problem with them. I would go and check it out. Its part of history.

How long does it take to walk around and read the displays and see the views at the top?
Written September 19, 2019
You can easily do it in 30-45 mins depending on your time constraints and how much time you want to spend. The main viewpoint can be done in 15 mins if you are short on time.
