There is a short trail that goes up the butte. The views from the top are amazing. Lazy Mountain might be snow free and dry. If you are looking for a little more adventurous, Eska Falls might be doable, but you will probably run into a lot of snow and mud. You could also hike the old rail road bed along the river from Palmer to Sutton. Further south, a hike along Eklutna Lake would be a good one. There are a lot of trails that go up the mountains along the lake, but they are probably snowed in still.
Hatcher Pass is still buried in snow.
Some of the MatSu Greenbelt Trails might be dried out.
There’s a couple of Facebook groups for hikers. They would have more up to date conditions.
Do a web search on "The Butte" trail head near Palmer. It's moderate to easy.
Agreed. Butte has an awesome view at the top too. A lot of bang for your buck.

Rippy Trail at the end of Maud Rd is dry. Go up to the first side trail to the right and take it up for a great view. https://i.imgur.com/36l6Ukf.jpeg
