Safety
Public Access
BLM Alaska’s lands are vast and rugged. Remember
to plan your trip accordingly by ensuring you have
first aid supplies, emergency vehicle supplies, and
adequate provisions before heading out. When
planning a backcountry trip, always file a trip plan
with a friend or family member and let them know
when you plan to return.
BLM Alaska managed public lands are intermingled
with private, state, Tribal, and a variety of other
jurisdictions. A visitor may legally access public
lands via:
• A public trail, road, or highway;
• A navigable water;
• From adjacent public or state lands that are
from landowner; or via a valid 17b public
easement. Information on 17b easements and
maps can be found at https://www.blm.gov/
alaska/17b-easements;
Trail Etiquette
invasive species.
• Slow down for curves and hills, when visibility is
limited and when other users are present.
• Keep noise and dust down.
• Keep pets under control. Some trails require
dogs to be leashed.
Whether travelling far off the beaten path or along the road,
thorough preparation is imperative for a successful trip.
Alaska is bear country. Store your food and other
scent attractants in an enclosed vehicle or bearproof food storage container, and never store your
food in an occupied tent. When travelling in bear
country, remember to make noise, travel in groups,
carry bear spray, and keep your dog on a leash.
• Be familiar with local rules.
• Leave gates in the condition you found them.
Rights of Way
BLM visitors are responsible for knowing their
location and applicable regulations. Appropriate
public land users remain on legal routes, obey all
signs, respect private property, and avoid resource
damage. The best way to ensure a successful
outing is to check with the nearest BLM office
for up-to-date access information in your area.
Your local BLM office can also supply you with
recreation permits and information on specific
recreation opportunities, such as camping, fishing,
wildlife watching, hiking, off-highway vehicle
travel and snowmobiling. For more information,
go to www.blm.gov/media/public-room/alaska.
Also, be sure to check the State Department of
Transportation (DOT) Highway Safety page
https://dot.alaska.gov/highwaysafety before
travelling.
• Yield the right of way to those passing you from
behind or traveling uphill.
• Motorized vehicles yield to mountain bikes,
runners, hikers
