 A salmon spawning creek |
2203 West Dimond Blvd Anchorage, AK 99515 United States |
Used by bikers, hikers, cross-country skiers, roller-bladers and families with strollers, the greenbelt travels for miles. Along the way, there are two tennis courts that may be reached from that intersection of the trail. Use extra care in winter, because this trail fills with moose drawn by the aspens that line the paved walkway. Fishing is permitted (with license). During the salmon "runs," visitors can observe the thousands of mating fish in the creek. No fees charged. No rest areas are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 South of Dimond Boulevard |
off Canary Court Anchorage, AK 99515 United States |
This long and winding lake is home to many Anchorage residents who have floatplanes. With tie-downs right in their own backyards, these private plane owners store their planes with safety and convenience and utilize the official runway that the lake provides. Salmon voyage through the lake during spawning season by traveling through the small saltwater channel that meets the lake's overflow. Once there, the fish head north; fighting upstream through the Campbell Creek. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Picnic tables, a walking path with park benches make up the park portion of this place and there are no restroom facilities available. Houses line the far end of the lake and noise ordinances are strictly enforced. Review © 2007, Wcities |
