Subject: Public Recreation Easement in Knik River Public Use Area
The Alaska Quiet Rights Coalition (AQRC) supports the granting of a public recreation easement for the purpose of developing and reserving a non-motorized trail leading to an overlook over Jim Lake. The application indicates the trail would extend approximately 1000 feet in length.
AQRC welcomes any effort to meet the statutory mandate creating the Knik River Public Use Area in regard to enhancement of non-motorized recreation.  We trust that DNR does not consider granting this  easement as anything but a miniscule step.
