Hiking

The Blueberry Knoll Hiking Trail at Government Peak Recreation Area is 1.5 miles, moderately steep, and has great views. There is a picnic table at the top of the knoll, where one can look out onto the Matanuska Valley. This is a great location for a well-earned picnic lunch with the family!

Please be advised that stinging nettles are present in this area during the mid to late summer – long pants are recommended.

Directions: From Palmer take the Palmer-Fishhook Road toward Hatcher Pass. At mile 7, turn left onto Edgerton Parks Road. Drive one mile. Take a right on Mountain Trails Drive, the parking area and main trailhead is past the gate.

Parking: This is a Mat-Su Borough Trailhead and requires a $5 single use day pass, or an annual parking pass.
