RTP Grant Application - Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Flicker Trailhead Enhancement and Trail Alignment Project

Recreational Trails Program Grant Application – Public Notice Project Title: Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Flicker Trailhead Enhancement and Trail Alignment Project Organization Name: Fairbanks North Star Borough Date Public Notice Posted: October 1, 2026 Posted Online: October 2, 2026 Brief Description of Proposed Project: The proposed project would improve the Flicker Trailhead by adding a vault toilet, upgrading the parking lot, addressing accessibility deficiencies, and making site improvements that better define the parking area, trail access point, and vehicle circulation routes. The project would also improve trail delineation where the trail transitions from a wooded corridor onto a flood-control groin that also functions as a park maintenance road and the Eastlake trail connector. This segment is a key connection in the lake loop trail system, and the proposed grant-funded work would more clearly separate vehicles from trail users and better align the trail on the groin, improving both safety and the visitor experience.
