The McHugh Creek Recreation Area is a wonderful way for the entire family to spend the day enjoying the lush Girdwood nature. They have amenities such as parking, restrooms, and a picnic area for you to use during your stay there. You’ll find a 20-foot waterfall just a short walk from the parking area and it is a fun thing to do if you’re not up for a longer walk or hike. The McHugh Trail offers a moderate hike that elevates over 1,500 feet and takes you nearby 6.5 miles. During the hike you’ll be able to see panoramic views of the mountains and the Turnagain Arm as well as McHugh Lake, Rabbit Lake, and South Suicide Peaks.
