*A trail from
Sunrise City up Six-mile River and south through
the canyon.
* A winter trail from Old
Knik up the Knik River then NE to the Copper River.
* A summer trail from Old
Knik up the Matanuska River, passing Palmer's store and
King's house to Millich Creek and, via Hicks
Creek, Trail Lake and Nulchuk Tyon Village, to the Copper
River (pretty much the route of the present Glenn Highway.
* A summer trail from Grubstake
Gulch on Willow Creek over Hatcher Pass and down to Palmer's
Upper House with a branch leading to Vacilla's and to Mellish
House.
After 1912,
other much used trails had developed northward from
Seward and out from
Knik to the east and
west (and various mines):
* Seward Trail
(1905) from Eklutna, over Peter's Creek, through
the mountains, down Crow Creek and Glacier Creek, passed Kern
Creek, 20 Mile Creek, Portage Creek and up Placer
River.
* Watson Coal Trail, which
was later known as the Goodwin Trail and which was the first
lap of the Iditarod trail from Knik to Susitna Station:
* The Klondike and Boston
Co., Summer Trail along the beach from Knik to Cottonwood
then towards the mountains, passing between Lake Lucille
and Wasilla Lake to Grubstake Gulch (now part of Knik-Wasilla
Road) with a branch marked R.R. Trail, to the Kashwitna River.
* Carle Road (now Fishhook
Road) developed a little later from Knik between Lake Lucille
and Wasilla Lake to the gold fields of Hatcher Pass.
* Dalton Trail branched of
the Carle Road as it entered the Little Susitna Canyon and then
ran east to the coal mines.
* Information extracted from
a book called: Old Times on Upper Cook's Inlet by Louise

A little
Bit About Myself
My husbands family
came to Alaska in 1940 and my parents came to Alaska in 1950. We
have lived
in the Matanuska
Valley for 34 years. I enjoy helping people find
their family roots... It is
very rewarding.If
you need help finding your family roots or you need some
research advise, drop me a line, I'd be more than happy to
help all I can....
all I ask in return is an occassional
update on your research.
