Description: Fairbanks is at the confluence of the Richardson Highway, George Parks Highway, Steese Highway, and Elliott Highway, connecting the Interior to Anchorage, Canada, and the lower 48 states. The Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay begins about 75 miles north of town. Goods are transported to Fairbanks by truck, air, and the Alaska Railroad. Regularly-scheduled jet flights are available at the state-owned Fairbanks International Airport. An asphalt runway and a gravel landing strip, heliport, and seaplane landing area are available. A public seaplane base is also located on the Chena River. In addition, there are several privately-owned airstrips and heliports in the vicinity. The Fairbanks North Star Borough Comprehensive Recreational Trail Plan program (CRTP) includes year-around multi-use motorized recreational trail corridors throughout the borough. The CRTP recognizes 36 multi-use motorized recreational trails ranging over 717 linear miles.
